Yeah, I'm in on T for my "dividends earners" portion of my portfolio. Also VZ (and spin-off FTR), KFT & MRK.

How many shares do you have?

10% gain good enough meaning, you'll sell all? sell some? hold on to it and hope it continues to rise?
I have not sold it. Held for just over a year now. My original plan is to sell if/when it got to $30.

By 10% being good enough I mean I only invested for the dividend of 6% so the 10% gain thus far is a good bonus

How about something constructive, like... "Anyone else get on stock XYZ at price $XX.XX, because it's doing great right now!"

^^^ I like CY and some of these forgotten chip manufacturing stocks. The fabless semi firms have been on fire for months and their valuations are questionable IMHO. But the valuations on the semis like CY that actually MAKE semis are still looking really cheap. And they are all growing in the double digits annually and some even pay nice dividends. Some of the others I have been looking at are MXIM, XLNX, LSI, NSM, etc... I think the industry is primed for a massive round of buyouts and mergers.

I haven't bought any yet. But I already have a large chunk of chip industry exposure in my non-retirement port already in INTC, ARMH, MIPS, ASYS, WFR

Pretty quiet in here for such great market action, is everyone busy working 12 hr days like me and no time to realize your profolio just went up 6% in two days?

My winners right now, F, C, VZ, and my hope to break even soon BAC
