RE:RE:RE:missing out ...MOE - not wanting a fight but this stock was highly recommended by TDWaterhouse at the time and it forms part of a managed portfolio. At the time they were paying a really nice (if I recall about a 8% dividend) and things were all good.
So bad investment- a disaster after the fact.
would I do things differently now...yes, check out management first and then invest
So not such a great investement but right decision at the time. Its like saying when I graduated university in the late 70s, gold was trading at $35 per ounce and why did I, and everyone else, not buy a truckload of it? It proves that hindsight is always right.
Not excuxes but just facts.
