RE: anyone else adding here? I bought a bunch of PVE as it got me PPL for 50 cents/share less than simply buying PPL, and I'm up a buck/share already. Average cost on my PPL will be just shy of $16, paid to get in while everyone else was panicking in '09. Once the deal is done, PPL will be my largest dividend holding, with IPL.un and ALA not far behind. Simply great income stocks.
