Well, the share price of the stock went down, not a ton but enough that I am below my original investment, even with the dividend- an additional 1.45 shares- and the interest on the 15,000 not put into stocks. I have been paid a couple of times and not invested... money seems to be short and I am not covering my expenses as it is. I figure it is better to come closer to covering all my expenses then to worry about putting more away.
I have another job prospect though. I will go and talk to them on Thursday...  here is hoping it works out great! here is hoping that PKO goes back up to at east 25.80 by the time I want to sell too. If it did I would be ahead right now. Until then I guess I don't really mind it being down a bit. If the price stays where it is right now I would get another 1.46 shares next month... a little lower and I will have added 3 shares in two months. As long as the dividend continues my cost basis will go down... it is at 25.66 now. At the same price next month it will be at 25.47. Don't get me wrong, I want my dollar value to go up, but right now not taking out the dividend, as long as the dividend keeps coming I can afford to be patient.
