yeah, guess so just like those who thought WCOM or ADCT was good long term buy at 10 with NO dividend

compare WCOM to MCIT

stocks bot 100 @ $12. both say are @ 7.50

loss in both stocks -$450

in 12 months both stock have no change in price, but MCIT keeps paying the dividend. who comes out ahead?

MCIT 0.60/share X 100 = $240
WCOM 0/share X 100 = $0

loss in both stocks in one year

MCIT -$240
WCOM -$480

STILL in the red in both, but at least one get some $$$ for being down and the loss has been cut in half w/ MCIT
