Dividend Watcher,
Thanks for sharing your trades and thoughts. I've been having similar results with a few recent buys of GE, T, and MAT. I think that goes with the territory of value/dividend investing. We tend to buy the beaten down stocks who are providing unusually high yields so while the results may not be immediate, once the company turns things around gets the business growing again, the share prices will rebound and our returns will look much better.
In the meantime, take solace in the fact you are compounding the dividends at discount prices...well, if you are reinvesting the shares anyways...
