Got my first DividensRecieved dividends from both the common and the preffered's. Have also enjoyed 12% upside so far on the preffered issues. Coupled with my dividend of ratio of 10% it is providing a healthy return and should for the long term. Only thing missing with this company though would be a drip but I am more happy to have the low outstanding share count then to have a drip and them use shares from the treasury. Good luck all.
