T and GE have so much in common. Both should just merge and this way only 1 exists lol. T may cut the dividend once they Time Warner merger takes place. They will be taking on a lot of debt. But who knows. Your guess is as good as mine.
T may go to $32. That's about the low set 5 years ago. Long term not a bad entry point.
But I would rather buy consistent growers that pay a dividend like ITW or CMI

No way. They still have the earnings and cashflow to keep paying the dividend even after the merger. Yes, they have a lot of debt but that is something that we already knew and you can bet that the management has thought about it too. They most certainly don't want to lose their dividend streak.
But I'm almost certain that for the next few years it will be the same old $0.01 increase. I'm ok with that though as long as the debt starts going down. (which the management has stated to be the goal)
I'll probably buy some more today, a dividend aristocrat for a P/E of under 16? Yes please.

I know its not a dividend stock but I took a small position in CELG this morning at $98.80. Down $21 Holy Cow. And this company has one of the best pipelines in the industry. Happy to get in after it has fallen $40 in like the past few weeks. They beat earnings but lowered the 2020 estimates lol

Also added to RTN and LMT today. Silly selloff. Rotation I guess. I decided to sell TGT and PKI after the run-up and use the proceeds to buy those 2 stocks with bigger dividends.

Very nice buys. RTN is my biggest holding and I've been eyeing LMT for a while now but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Regarding the selloff for RTN: I guess that's the way it's going to be when people have ridiculous expectations. I have no idea how these so called professional analysts do their research but something is wrong when two things happen on the same day. 1. The company raises their own guidance on EPS and revenue. 2. Analysts say that the results were below their expectations.

I added a little XOM to my 5 years olds account today. I figure its a good buy and hold for the next 18+ years. Earnings were good and chart much better now.
How about WBA? Wow new 52 weeks low

WBA at a 2.5% yield is pretty enticing. I think the AMZN fears are a bit overblown.

I will never own AMZN. Wish I did at times lol but it doesn't fit in the kind of companies I invest in. MSFT and TXN are however.
WBA actually had a great earnings report the other day. They even raised guidance but Wall St doesn't care at this point since of all the talk of Amazon getting into the prescription business. And I just don't see them doing that. Too many obstacles to be able to run that kind of business. Just a huge over reaction that will soon pass.
CVS wanting to buy Aetna tells you all you need to know about how serious they view the Amazon threat. I would be hesitant with CVS and WBA until more is known about Amazon's plans and how disruptive they will be.
