I’m hoping for a nice increase, as well as another dip so I can buy more shares! Going to the $1.00 mark would be tremendous bump, and I’d be thankful I was able to add as many shares as I did.

Thanks for commenting and stopping by, DD.

I had the automatic reinvestment on and you were right. It went right back into more GE Shares. Hopefully, we get a real nice dividend increase. The buybacks have been a lot less this year, so it might be better for us with the dividend hike. Getting to $1.00 level would be real nice. We will see.

Keep cranking,

Joe,

I currently invest with TradeKing for both my taxable and IRA accounts. I primarily use them because they offer $4.95 trades and have good customer service. I do not have any plans of switching at this time.

I will say I do a thorough evaluation at least once per year to determine if it makes sense to switch brokers or not. For example, I do not use TradeKing for my investment club because they charge extra fees for partnerships. As a result, the low cost of the trades do not matter if I am paying $200 per year just to keep the account open. Originally, I switched to TradeKing for the reasons listed above, great customer service and low trading costs.

Hope this answers your questions, and thanks for your readership and commenting!

Hello, I was wondering which company you use for your taxable dividend and IRA accounts. I see you use Loyal3 for fee free purchases but was wondering about the other.

Also, how did you come to using the company for your taxable & IRA account?

Love the blog!
Joe

Lots of fellow shareholders of GE, and I’m glad to be one of them. Pretty awesome that you get to see some of their products in the health care industry. Much like drinking a coke, using Axe body wash, or eating some Fritos, seeing the products of a company you own being consumed or in action is a pretty rewarding experience as an investor.

I appreciate you stopping by and for your insight!

Thank you GI! I am very happy with the direction GE is going and would love to hold several multiples of the amount GE than I currently hold. A prime example of a company that has learned some lessons from past mistakes and is moving forward in the right direction. While there aren’t any guarantees, I am a fan for sure.

Thanks for stopping by!

Wow, that’s incredible. Certainly speaks to the need to have some diversification, not just between equities, but perhaps between passive income sources. I’d be interested in hearing your full story (how you got into dividend stocks) and what you’ve done since the downturn and loss of dividend income as you’ve mentioned. I’d be happy to share it on the blog for sure.

Nice buy W2R, it’s a pleasure being a fellow company owner with you! Working in the Diagnostic sector of health care General Electric is no stranger to me. Thanks for sharing

W2R,

following many others I’ll go ahead and welcome you as a fellow shareholder.
We have a very similar entry level.
GE had a solid Q3 and I can’t wait for GE Capital’s influence to become smaller.

GE is one of the great industrials.

10 out of 18, I forgot to count GE too.
