View on StockTwits ↗@TalkMarkets good rule of thumb, reminds me of the 1% monthly rule when buying income generating properties: “A little under $1000 invested in WTRG at Wednesday’s $38.10 opening share price would buy 26 shares which multiply the $2.57 gross gain to $67.45 for the coming year, or 6.75%. My dividend dogcatcher rule is to only buy initial shares of a dividend stock that pay an annual dividend (from $1000 invested) that is greater than the cost of one share. WTRG’s projected annual dividend from $1K invested is $36.50. So Essential Utilities shows a dividend from $1,000 invested of $1.60 less than its $38.10 single share price as of Wednesday’s market opening.” $WTRG $AWK
