[Entangled Proton]

The divy was great for those of us who were waiting for back payment. But the next divy will be based on the original sale of the notes. With the market inflation and increase in share pps, the ongoing divy will return less than 5%. At 5%, that's 50k/million pre-tax. Can't live off that. The pps then pulled back after record as I expected. I've been selling expecting the pull backs and now have trust funds sitting on the side lines.

If a bank pays 5% then the stock pulls back 10% after divy and you hold, then you loose money. Look what happened to CTZ. People who bought for the divy then held, lost their butts.
