Rande....have you ever looked at JCI or Leggett & Platt? Not sexy but two ultra solid big caps that have generated record earnings and dividends for YEARS on end, without fail. I have been in JCI since it was $44 awhile back and it is my favorite stock. In on a DRIP plan so CHEAP cost to acquire!!! Not in Leggett & Platt but wish I was. Appreciate your opinion if you have looked, and if not, maybe you will want to.
