Hi Rick:
Do you have any worries about ALD's dividend
Not really. They just declared another 0.57 for holders on 3/18 payable on 3/31.
I saw that inquiry press release in December, but trust that their response vis a vis hedge and short seller pressure is appropriate for now. I'm not too worried.
Besides, I really don't own that much since I had a Sell in November. Right now, this holding only represents about 2% of my total value.
In 2004 I had a Sell, Buy, Buy, Sell. The dividend is just icing on the cake.
Best Regards, Steve (The Grabber)
