IHUB is about "playing" garbage. The usual investment duration is from PR to PR. For me the tomfoolery is entertainment. I've never put a cent in anything pumped here. But I've learned and profited from studying IHUB mentality.

It's interesting to me that even retirement-type NYSE income stocks are spun here. You can see that with the AOD board. Several there refuse to discuss the downside which is that the fancy dividend isn't sustainable and may come from eating up capital. Similarly with MVO I'm about the only one mentioning its termination. Discussion reminds me of when all the HRCT fans tried so hard to please "doc" even as he was walking out the backdoor! Remember that disgusting "Loyalty" competition?

The MVO div apparently includes substantial return of capital, and even that will end as soon as 2026. It HAS been a great investment. Certainly better than California/Arizona homes. But the future is very difficult to predict. And the "story" is much more complex than the latest fat dividend check.
