OK - a new thread here for your entertainment. Each weekend I'm going to dig up a stock ticker that I like and post it here along with some brief commentary.
This week's stock is FCPT - Four Corners Property Trust of which I have bought some for my wife's retirement fund. These guys own & lease restaurants, and pay a nice dividend for their efforts.
506 restaurants - 44 states - 20 brands, according to their website. So it's diversified. Looks like a winner.
so far they lost 2% ytd including dividends . certainly over the last year it was no bargain compared to just an s&p 500 fund which is up . if i had to bet i would say it will likely be a laggard still and have individual company risk added in the mix as well . i will pass . hope you are right .
so far all these recommendations we have seen here like at&t ,ge , etc have been dogs . not only dogs but risky , big loss dogs .

Never recommended GE. Check the records.
T is down, but in the long run will be ok with the dividends. Not my best pick on that one.
I did have strong buy recommendations on MA at $87 and DNKN at $60. Don't forget those.

dividend or not at &t has far more risk than the s&p 500 , down 15 % this year alone and has been a laggard for years and years . i think it was up , including dividends about 2.50% the last 3 years . what a stinker . it has sustained huge losses so you can't even call it "safe " altria too got crushed .
you thought about buying it at 19 , did you forget ?
To be fair I think the statement was he was totally in at 17.5. He was also in love with IBM in December iirc. If we spent the time tracking it all it would most likely be a loser vs the s&p but to his credit he puts it out there for criticism
