Yes, but why today?My hunch is that mgmt wanted ALL the sordid news out and done with two weeks before earnings, esp on a day when the hub hub from the Fed would drown out most news.
I expect they will now try and pump up the stock on Feb 14th.
I added today @ $54 because the div. is too good to pass on. Perfectly content to hold for 3-4 yrs.
Cheers.
