It's in a tax sheltered account, so no worries about paying taxing on gains down the road on capital gains. I can swap out to higher yielding stocks and go on my merry way.
I take yet another view, which is to take advantage of companies with higher yields now and max them out to full positions and then use their high payouts to subsidize my purchases in lower yielding, higher growth companies down the road
Been hammering on BP & T last couple weeks and now almost full positions in both. Looking to add to BBL & BNS next.
All stocks mentioned also happen to be near the bottom of their 52 week range
