I have owned USERX since 1998, adding to it every 2 months without fail. I have experienced my best improvements in the position several times in the last 2 weeks of December and first 2 weeks of January of the New Year. Most of the time a large percentage of the gain was due to the distribution and the timing of the distribution of the yearly dividend. That is my suspicion this time, also. Just my opinion. Buy, add to and hold USERX for the next 10 years and you will stand head and shoulders above your neighbors and be in a position to do the world a lot of good. That is my motivation.
