DD is a tough one for me to figure based on metrics I like. I typically key off book value, and for DD bv rises and falls. That throws off any of my metrics based on equity. I'll have to consider some other way of getting a handle on this one. Maybe relative dividend yield, because dividend is holding and dividend yield is relatively large. I see analysts may have divergent opinions on DD too: Credit Suisse with an outperform (in April) and S&P with a 1* last week (going from sell to strong sell). Not so easily seen by me that DD will drop to $23 any time soon. I'll put it on my watch list though for possible further consideration. finance.yahoo.com
