Conclusion

I started my position in AT&T back earlier this year. The price of the stock has fluctuate up and down since I started the position. So I am very happy to see an increase at this point. I would love to be able to add onto this position but AT&T is already one of my largest positions. For now, I plan to just hold this position and let it grow on its own.

Regardless of how large or small, I love all dividend increases. That is how we end up with More Dividends 😉
