Agree, I liked the old format much better. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Grommit, I agree on the GRT preferred and the yahoo quotes: I bought some GRT_pf today. 8.8% return is Ok given the very limited risk, IMO. GRT stock itself looks somewhat vulnerable since the dividend coverage via FFO is a bit tight but i don't see any issues with the preferred. Thanks for the suggestion, i have been looking unsuccessfully for investment opportunities and this is the first one that came along for quite some time. I don't like the new yahoo quotes either and complained abut the cluttered view of the new layout via questionaire.

Another place for cash. New issue preferred KE-A biz.yahoo.com I mentioned GRT-f in previous post (see the post that this is responding to). GRT-f was at $24.90, yielding 8.8%. Now trading $25.5 to $26. (it should trade at $26, based on comparable preferred stocks -- 4% gain to purchase price so far.) KE-a is yielding 8 1/2%, new issue, at $25 now. I think it should also trade around $26 once it gets established, unless interest rates go whacky or something... finance.yahoo.com regards, grommit
