Should I sell AT&T (T) or hold it longer?

I have held it for a year and am sitting on a 25% gain. The stock pays about 4.25% in dividends.

Answer:
In the long run it will grow--its a good, safe investment.
What you do should be based upon your profile in the market.

Are you a short term trader?
Medium term trader?
Long term trader?

Technical traders use stops to determine their exit points.

Investor?

The question you should ask yourself is "would I buy this stock today using the same decision making process I used to buy this stock in the first place?"

Note that a 4.25% yield at today's prices equates to a 5.7% yield on the price you bought it for.
