I'm still kicking myself for not buying more shares when it was at $25 last year but can't remember the reason why I didn't. The short-term capital gains would be an "ouch" also.
I already own T and I'm trying to keep from duplicating our portfolios too much.
Finally concluded the VOD/VZ payoff. For 200 shares of VOD. I received 110 shares of VOD, 53 shares of VZ and a $1038.00 dividend. Ends up being about $100 more than the valuation of my VOD on 2/21/14. WOO-HOO. So much for the $130B windfall. I'll keep both for a while and see what happens. I think I'd rather have T, though.
