This is exactly why the splits are trading stocks. They arne't the stock you tuck away and come back to great appreciation years later. If you watch them carefully and sell on weakness in the financial markets and buy on the rebounds you'll have good monthly payments and capital gains but otherwise, at best, you'll recoup you're $$ with a nominal increase over the long term. Right now the $15 put into DFN at inception in 2004 with monthly payments and todays SP would add up to about $23 - hardly a stellar return considering that most bank stocks have gone up over 250% since then + paid dividends
PS..hey gehedan - thanks for the reference to my handle :)
