Re: "it looks like the dividend yield is at the highest point in the past 10 years." I remember when several utility companies that I owned had dividend yields at the highest point in many years. They ended up cutting the dividends due to big write-offs, etc. The stock prices dropped by about 80% or more. Best wishes, I2

Hi Paul, That was me who mentioned X recently. I was half-joking about its merits as a dividend play although I do consider its yield to be decent coupled with the ROE and the relatively low stock price... I haven't bought yet - waiting to see if the market fulfills James' worst nightmares <g>. It appears to be leveling out now so I will likely place a few staggered GTC orders and then see what happens. Not as potentially rewarding as, say, DSWLF but my gut feeling (please don't flame me - I know its not a Buffett/Graham valuation method! <g>) is that X is less risky. Of course that won't stop me from still going after DSWLF! Personally I was using X as a barometer for Nucor but it looks like I should have bought that one a decade ago. Good luck with X, John
