RE:Well guys and gals, BECAUSE I agree with this guy, I started buying ITE about 2 years ago. And with that 10% dividend I have never looked back. The current President is a very smart man and knows his oil. I was planning on holding my shares for a very, very long time as a nice retirement egg. Now that GTE has bought it, I am concerned as to getting anymore dividends because, like some of you, I also own GTE shares that have under performed over the last many years. I definitely don't like mixing a winner [ITE] with a current loser [GTE], unless GTE is going to wake up and treat us fairly.
