Sold most of my PGH stock a year ago to buy EVEP around $24. I was losing on PGH so I'm not bragging about my gains on 450 shares of EVEP. I win some, lose some...I mean, lose some win some in this case. My trailing stop is 5%.
BBEP has an attractive price / book ratio, but I'm going to bag the cash of $15,500 or so before the end of this year.
I've had it with dividend stocks. Bammy is going to steal your dividends. Buy stocks like the limousine socialists - no dividend growth stocks. Buy and hold. There are plenty with good debt / equity ratios and plenty with lots of cash that you can hold for the time being until the political cycle favors long term capital gain tax cuts.
Dividend taxes will be at ordinary rates. LT capital gains taxes will go up to 20%, which make growth no-dividend stocks a better tax strategy.
Starve the socialists.
