How low would our share price have to go for the current leadership to be held accountable?
And I know it is going up right now, but I think we all know it's only a matter of time before it continues its downward trajectory once again. Nothing that is pushing it up is substantial or has any staying power.
OP, fair question, but unless you’re a Wall St. analyst and have some inside info you want to share, consider this. Everyone, and I include mutual & hedge funds especially, hold the lions share of T....they don’t have a crystal ball, just Research.
I will admit that research is not infallible as the Great Recession saw T slip from the low $40’s to $23 per share, but most everyone took a similar hit. T is mostly a dividend play, though once a growth stock way back, and it has been in a stagnate trading range, but Microsoft languished exactly the same way, from 2003-2016 before moving up, who knows where T will be in a year....I remember the board criers calling for the low 20’s by now.
T’s recent purchases, ( their past screw ups aside) might prove fortuitous in the long run. I say that as a person who faces a Surplus on one side while holding stock on the other. I have always been a buy and hold investor and when T slipped to $23, my auto investing was getting a near 2 for 1 Value plus dividends if you consider today’s activity....don’t be quick in jumping to conclusions as did those "board criers."
It’s going up right now as you stated. That’s all Wall Street cares.
