I can't help but wonder if future investors in ONE will be offered a 5% or even 6% yield while they wait. Also banks have been known to cut their dividends. At one time I owned Manufacturers Hanover and was getting a 16% yield, alas it did not last. If you fancy a dividend what is wrong with USU? RE: the credit card exposure. Some of this is smoke and mirrors. If you recall when credit cards first came into being the term of repayment was 36 months. In the interim the term has increased to 60 months in some cases, and if you go over your credit line you just get an increase. Of course people who owe credit card debt that they do not pay off have probably already maxed out on their home equity loans or do not own homes. Then of course we don't know how much credit card debt is financing speculation on margin into internuts. Sounds to me like ONE's equity is not as secure as one might think. Will we be hearing "too big to fail" mantras again?

Paul and others Thanks for the reply on ONE. It just caught my other the other day. Yes I am patient with my long plays. Mattel and 3com are ones I sometimes think I have been too patient with. If you buy a good company at a low price, my experience has been it pays off. Regards Neil
