Ep #49 | Are we buying or selling AT&T | And more: $CSCO $ABBV Listener questions

After the big news from AT&T, EMF and EDGI discuss the deal and why they are holding or selling their shares. We start a little off-topic as we both discuss Eurovision and why it’s our guilty pleasure. We discuss ABBV who have been in the news in the US before rounding up the news of the weeks with a look at ciscos earnings. Main topic: We both give our take on AT&T spinning off its WarnerMedia segment. Is it a good deal and which one of us is holding and which one is selling? We finish up the show with questions from the community Phil -How are your portfolios doing? Everything on track? Any adjustment/change planned?
