I made about 5-6%/yr dancing with options the past few years.  I would have been dead even at best otherwise.  The dividend pretty much covered the losses.  Buy and hold was FAR short of most anything else I consider blue chip in my port for years.

Yes, if counting dividends and option sales, I'm definitely "ahead" on T overall, but doubt that those paltry gains have outpaced inflation.
