Hi Carl - Do you know if CSE's dividend is a "qualified" dividend? I noticed that CSE is trading near it's high. Other than the growth in the general economy, what factors influence the price of CSE? For the larger commercial banks it is the general shape of the yield curve and the growth of their deposits in their bank. I have an over weighted position in banks both large (JPM, C & WM) and regional (NYB). These financial stocks usually rally towards the end of an interest rate increase. I wonder if the 2nd tier financial stocks like CSE act in a similar manner. I sure like the dividend yield of 8%. It's about twice of what I am current getting from the large financial banks and 1.3x that of what my regional bank NYB pays. EKS
