Yahoo started those message boards about a month ago. I decided that I would just stick to monitoring SI rather than Yahoo (et al.). The particular message you linked to was a 'good' point, though. I'm out of TRCI right now, but I was actually thinking of putting my IRA contribution this year in it. I figure with the large dividend, it's a fairly conservative investment, as I don't see any major problems with the company (i.e. stock dropping to 1). Looking only at the P/E, however, it's not all that attractive for an unfollowed stock. I'm hoping to visit TRCI in a few weeks, so perhaps I'll get a better perspective. Steve
