Peter HodsonIn Investor's Digest, issue14/05(july 15) page 418 RUS is mentioned by Hodson. He says " I bought RUS at $6.60 less than 2 years ago... when i bought the shares, the dividend was $.40 and it doubled to$.80. That gives me a yield of more than 12% on my purchase price. Lots of investors dislike steel stocks these days, and that means RUS trades at less than 3 times earnings. That's cheap enough to keep the shares here. In addition, I believe the dividend is quite safe(not guaranteed,though), even in a declining steel market. If you own the stock, you should read the 2004 annual report regarding the dividend. The company is very committed to returning money toshareholders.
