total share-wealth-units last reported which was 30JUN2016 was 26,820 and total share-wealth-units today 26,990
real-estate land 3APR03 of 1 lot $16,500.
real-estate land Sept05 another lot $75,000.
Alright the switching campaign with AT&T and GSK was short lived, so far, in that GSK never fell, but that once time in which I managed to get 20 shares.
In the news recently was a huge fall by BMY on its Opdivo cancer drug that failed in lung cancer extension, and which MRK rose sharply on its Keytruda cancer drug. The drug industry is not as smooth and steady as the telecom, but rather, more of a roller coaster.
Today, with excess cash, I bought 170 more shares of AT&T at 42.27.
Now I am going to start to post about CHARITY DONATIONS, since this foundation is giving in a big way, since I have cancer myself.
Now I want to give to my alma maters, but found that they are backwards in donation giving. Sure, they have alumni type of magazines that they print, but not really conducive to donations.
I am going to set a Minimum Standard for schools and donors to "good causes" like medicine.
I require as my standard, that of Public TV, PBS. Recently I gave a $1,000. to South Dakota PBS and was published my name of Plutonium Atom Foundattion, Archimedes Plutonium, in at least 2 or 3 or even more times upcoming for that one gift. You see, they have monthly program guides which PBS can publish names of donors.
So, what I require as minimum donating for large sums is the PBS give back-- name recognition.
My alma maters want to just send me a "thank you letter" and some discounts at some restaurants. To me, that is not adequate appreciation of Donors. To me, I want some lasting name recognition, for anyone in 100 years or 1000 years from now can get a hold of PBS publication of 2016 and see that I did indeed give generously.
A thank you note is not enough.
A name over a door or passageway is only as good as the building, and buildings are torn down.
A name in the Dean's office is not good enough.
So, why are Colleges and Universities handicapping donors, why are they being backwards in appreciation of donors? I think it is because no-one told them-- they can do a better job.
For example, one of my alma maters is Utah State U and the other is Univ Cincinnati, and I wanted to give both of them $1,000 apiece for this year. Until I found out that they do not publish names of donors in any of their magazines like the quarterly Utah State. The quarterly Utah State is perfect for its last pages being a recognition of donors of $1,000 or more for that quarter or year. If PBS can give name recognition, colleges and universities should do the same.
Colleges and Universities should not be so "miserly" and give out only a thank-you letter or commercial discounts. If PBS can set a minimum of appreciation, then colleges and universities should meet that minimum standard-- name recognition in a published magazine.
