I didn't find anything special about FR, as well, and that's precisely why I bought it. I didn't want any surprises, I wanted a dividend, and I wanted a relatively large cap which has been around a while.
You are correct, in that Buffett endorsing this one kind of gave a green light to the whole group.
On another matter, what does everyone think of Saucony now that it has pulled back some? Still the same great balance sheet, trading at 3/4 book. Could somebody refresh my memory in the distinction between A & B?
Talked with a good friend of mine who works at a sporting goods store (he repped Nike for 10 years +), he likes Saucony, but did point out the risk in that the Jazz Classic line may fall out of bed, not be the latest thing (I guess it is selling very well as a fashion statement).

By Golly, you're right. I had laid traps for a whole series of REITs. When I look today, they all jumped 3.5 to 6.5% yesterday. Guess I won't get any of them. Christmas shopping for my IRA's is over.
