Good morning T, Re: EPD investing......................
Here's Value Line's take on EPD. "Long term total return potential is also appealing."
If you're investing for dividends, getting started is the most important thing. The stock price has been in a trade range for a long time. With the exception of the Covid incident it's been between $24 and $32 since 2016. So, risking your $$$$ when it's in the middle of that trade range isn't particularly 'risky.'
