On VIRT , East72 (Aussi value shop) likes them: east72.com.au Personally, it does look cheap, but I don’t like the business they are in and think it’s challenged.

WU, Western Union. Slug of a company (little rev growth since 2017), and faces newer, more adept entrants. Still, this company holds on. I've a few tracking shares, now adding to make a larger tracking stock. 8.7% dividend yield. Low stock price offers maybe at $10.80 a possible $1 increase, reversion. Maybe more, but I don't envision it now. If it's for dividend yield, so small a position, it's silly. And expectations for capital gains are small. So why bother? Just that I've kept a few shares for a while, so with stock down now, I'll just add a few more and hold for a while longer. For other people, better, safer for yield, and to make some sort of actual commitment to a stock, would be, imo, EKS's "LUMN baby Bonds Qwest Corp (CTBB) yielding at/near 10%". With LUMN new business prospects, LUMN bonds might have safety of principal/distributions.
