Ship Finance International Limited (SFL) I added some SFL shares at $16.61/share for the ROTH and taxable account. It's been a long time since I I added any shares but their qualified div of 9.5% is quite attractive. I sold some REITs for small gains (GOV). Their div is/was taxed as ordinary income. Therefore, SFL should contribute nice cash flow to the dividend pot in both accounts. It's tax efficient too. My SDRL keeps leaking oil and I may have to average down. Like Jim has stated, SDRL's customers are the large Integrated Oil companies and have a long time table when starting a project. For me, as long as the dividend income comes in as stated by management, I do not care too much about the stock price. I will continue to add a few shares to bring down my avg cost. EKS
