One word: Ethanol. I haven't owned this as long as I have owned Ricks, but have held it several years. It is up 335% in that time. That almost four and a half fold return on investment means my dividend yield is almost 2.5% compared to the current yield of .57%. I didn't even know it was an ethanol play until about two years ago. Back in 2003 I bought the top nine chemical companies by revenues. This is one of two I have left. All of the others except for one were sold at a profit when energy prices started going up. The other one I still have is Praxair.
