Very predictable-- Not cool for $ cost averaging- LVLT, today so far, is Sooooo predictable--just like normal. 50,000 block sale or so, and it goes down more.

One thing about Dividends is that its better for the company to retain the earnings and reinvest them directly. This is something you should support if you want a DRIP because rather than issuing them to you, getting taxed at %30 and then you turning around and re-investing them, %100 of the "dividend" gets re-invested. If they can't put it to use developing infrastructure or new businesses, they can put it to use to buy their own shares on the open market. EPS goes up, your stock goes up in value, and you don't have to give up %30 of those earnings every year in taxes. Dragonfly
