RE: TornI've owned this one for years, It has always been a steady stock without wild price swings, which is something I like on income stocks.
The decrease from a 9 cent distribution to a 7 cent dividend actually gives most people a higher after tax return. In addition, NAL has sufficient tax pools that they will not be paying income tax for a couple of years. This means the 2 cent reduction will stay with the company helping out the bottom line.
