Shades Re: "ValueForum.com" Those guys don't like volatility, it is an altogether different approach. What they are looking for is income producing securities. They have done real well since the 2000 bubble blow off. Between all the foreign bond funds, natural resource trusts, oil tanker trusts, pipeline trusts and until lately mortgage REITs they have had a slowly appreciating asset paying out a large and mostly increasing dividend. And this has been doubly good as this has happened during a period or extremely low bond yields and CD rates. They don't want to sell and register a taxable gain, they would rather continue to hold for the payout.

But along comes a nit-wit like Cramer and puts a million daytraders on some thinly traded royalty trust and they fear a "blow off top" into which they will be forced to sell, and maybe not at the top. They would have preferred to continue to hold, with the stock SLOWLY rising on its normal low daily volume, all the while paying out the monthly or quarterly income stream. This is what they believe, true or not. BTW, Valuforum.com is a really valuble resource, though a bit pricey. The posters are first rate guys and well informed and with a real spirit of community and desire to help each other.
