Didn't realize that it's been almost 6 months since my last post! Not much has been going on, bought some Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) for it's nice 3% dividend. Vodafone is an international play who also owns 49% of Verizon Wireless. Being a former Verizon employee, I can tell you that VZ Wireless basically supports the other side of the business (internet, home phone, IPTV, etc). This is basically a long-term savings stock for me since savings interest rates has dropped well below 2%. Yuck.
I've also purchased Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B) after they had announced their purchase of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation with a 50-1 stock split. I'm totally playing investor psychology on this one. A $60 share price for BRK-B stock is irresistible and hopefully will open up new money from smaller investors like me! =)
