HHMMmmm -- you beat me posting this,, it is good news as there are fewer companies that pay anything,, I still remember when 5-fer posted the div news,,, not that long ago,,, this indicates MC thinks he is going to make the number IMO,,, a small number multiplies out to a huge cost,,, the street should like it,, hope it gets good pub tomorrow,,, coming on a rate increase day has additional implications to WS's real long term holders...

Michael, I can use every extra $.005 I can get at this point.<G> I'm sure not going to knock it. When companies get big and stable dividends are great. Is Ben telling us something? I do find it sorta strange that they are announcing the increase at this time. I would think an announcement with or close to the ER would be more normal. Appears to be more of a vote of confidence in MC then anything else. Oops, just thought about it being close to the 33rd qt ER. I'm already focused of the 4th qt ER. NW
