For long term defensive income investors AT&T (T) has always been a cash cow with a capital MOO! Long term income investors might want to consider this stock on the recent market weakness. As you can see on this graph provided by Barchart the stock has had a bit of weakness in the last 6 month:

Summary: AT&T (T) is definitely not a growth stock but income investors like the steady dividend of 5.92%. The dividend appears to be secure and is expected to increase over the next 5 years. I think the price to day is about a good as you will get in the near future and only bad news about the T-Mobile acquisition can drive the price down further. It is now trading at the high range of its 14 day turtle channel as this Barchart graph shows:
