Hi Bernie, I'm showing the current yield on "O" being closer to 7%. I don't know why there's such a discrepancy.
Not withstanding, your advice is sound. Generally I like to tell people to be buying when I'm buying and sell when I'm selling.
Linda K. years ago made the mistake of attempting to buy into stocks that people on the AIM BB were selling (I guess it was momentum type thinking) and she failed terribly. She would have done just as well buying a broker's push stock!
