Triffin, The acquisition of Progress will increase the revenue oft he combined company. So one would expect the $1.12 to go up, would it not? I'm undecided what to do with DUK. Most likely will hold for a while to see what the company does going forward after the acquisition. Don't have a lot of shares, so the financial commitment is not that high. And the dividend stream should not be affected. IB

Re: DUK ... I hate seeing reverse splits. Perhaps since DUK is a utility, it may not hurt them as much as it would other companies.
