Explanation

This isn't too anyone in particular but just a general
question to the thread. Awhile back I bought some
Gou.pr.a. I didn't buy for capital gains but, of course,
would be happy to have them. I bought because the stock
was paying a very high dividend. It is currently paying
30 cents a year which yields something over eight percent
and with a tax break, this is over nine percent.

The volume is usually low but on friday it traded 800,000
shares. the price went up 7 cents.

are we looking at short covering? or is this bullish signal
for GOU?

given the high dividend rate are there some particular risks with these preferreds?
