RE:RE:Lacklustre performance I agree and I'm a bit concerned with PPL's share performance lately. We were over $50 not long ago and since then it's pretty much on a decline. PPL is alomst were it was at the start of this year.
Sure the monthly divy pay-out of great but not so great overall if your main share capital dollar value is declining. For example....
1000x .2175( monthly divy payout ) = $217.50 a month. Well, if the share price drops $5 lets say, that's $5000 in loss capital. And that is only 1000 shares. More brutal if one has 5000 -- 10,000 shares! My cost is much lower and have held this for quite some time now I'm hoping this gains traction to the upside soon.
Yes, the share value may increase in time but, it's uneasy seeing it drop from $50 down to it's current price of $43.
