T $16.54
One of the first stocks that I bought was AT&T. When I bought it at $16.54 it was a pretty reasonable price, so I was able to purchase 10 shares.
The reason that I bought it was that I use them as my mobile phone carrier. I have had this account with them for a long time, and I have been reasonably happy with their service, so basically I respected the company itself.
It was a dividend paying stock and that was one of my criteria early on, so AT&T fit all my expectations.
All in all I have been happy with the stock. It’s a good one to buy and hold, or at least it was at the time I got it. There have been some ups and downs, but overall, it has grown in value and has been a reasonable dividend paying stock.
