CAPS Rating:
**

The Company is a provider of wireline local exchange telecommunications services to residential and business customers in rural Iowa, serving over 440 communities across the state.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

The corn is only as high as the elephant eye, and income plus depreciation and amortization secures the dividend, but even if it is decreased, it will still outpay fixed income and money mkt rates.


In the nebulous market we are in, this stock is a great edge and will be bought out in the future.

Cash flush telecom with niche market, making it all but a monopoly and potential take-over target. Fat dividends.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
