Hi Steve - Excellent way to wrap some of the preferred around BOX to get BOTH a blended high yielder with a growth kicker. I am close to starting a position in BOX for the IRA. I may wait one more month to collect more dividend income as this market may provide a better buying opportunity. Lots of recent talk from the "talking heads" that the dividend aristocrats are the new bonds (especially with a lot of the recent down grades from the rating agencies). I suspect that many of these stocks will be bid up higher and we will have to look at some of these 2nd tier dividend payers for the value buy. The two year Greece bonds are now yielding over 33%. It looks like they will default and perhaps one or more of the other EURO partners (Italy/Spain/Ireland) may require another bailout/refinance package. These monies may look for a home in U.S. equity dividend payers which will further drive the yields lower and prices higher. EKS
