Should You Buy AT&T While It's Below $20?

Telecom giant AT (NYSE: T) has seemingly hung around the $20 mark for years. Today, shares are trading hands at $17. The stock has underperformed the S 500 due to a bloated balance sheet and lack of earnings growth.

Is this enough to move the stock higher? Should investors buy the stock while it's under $20 per share? Here are three things you must know to decide.
