The response answers my open ended statement.

I imagine there are number of shares vs price per share ratio's out there to aide in the decision. My basic fundamentals have been minimum of 100 shares with a price range of 20-40 and above 3.5% dividend. My recent additions have been MO, VZ, PFE, XLS.
I've been watching T closely as that dividend is hard to ignore even though it weights the portfolio I don't see the sector declining anytime soon.

Thanks again Greg, the educational value of this thread continues to compound.
