Re: 20% div , I'm in! What could possibly go wrong     29-Sep-09 06:34 pm    
Even though the current yield is 9.50%, down from the 20% when you bought in, it is still pretty attractive in my book.

As soon as I can get some $$$ together in my E*Trade a/c I think I will be looking to pick up some shares of HPS.

If the share price drops in the future but the dividend holds at it's current $$$ level, I would be tempted to average down so that my yield % increases.

I also like the make-up of their portfolio per the summary provided on the Hancock website and Yahoo Finance.

Per my posting name, I am very focused on yield.
