The only problem with this is will it outperform the S&P, and I think it'll ride along with it, and obviously this really isn't a Growth stock per se, it's more of a dividend, but I wouldn't rate this a thumbs down at all if it didn't keep up with the S&P...the dividends alone could make up for any lost growth in the stock itself...in other words i think it's a great buy at these prices, and if it goes down by more, or just enjoy the 9% on your money. Where else can you find that with a potential to grow.
