I know many dividend stock investors rarely sell, but I personally have no problems selling to cash out on some profits. My decision is partially due to the fact that I receive free shares, but I also think that it is wise to sell when stocks are high as opposed to when they are out of favor and at bottom basement prices.

Plus, with the limit order price, we reached 100% profit from the sale. With that much gain built in, we obviously also sold to cash out some profits. We still have quite a few shares of FTR so by no means have we exited the stock completely. I probably should have clarified that FTR was more of an effort to re-balance. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and for your comment.

I don't own FTR myself and I've never considered to buy the stock; I'm just interested in how you made your decision.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />-DLDividend Lifehttp://dividendlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-14337649786123680002015-03-07T11:01:23.647-08:002015-03-07T11:01:23.647-08:00Thanks Tawcan.

You can always make more buys this month. :)Tawcanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17163696730038583040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-21475780560871138852015-03-06T02:14:27.160-08:002015-03-06T02:14:27.160-08:00$112 is absolutely great considering it is free mo...$112 is absolutely great considering it is free money that will compound itself to grow everyday.
