RPG... :] bbotcs, Dividend yield @ 3.5% so not too shabby. Don't see much downside since they are in a good area of growth, but you never know. The reason my position is small is because I'm so heavy in CSPI, WSTG, & now HPE. Sold a few HPE in the $15's but still heavy in margin.
I'll skim through the earnings report tomorrow, listen to the cc, and see where I go from there.
