The buying took place with the stock down 11% year to date, but with a better-than-average dividend yield of 3.9%, which isn't a bad dividend to get if you're waiting for the stock to go up.

If you want to be in the stock market, go for a yield vehicle. Go for something that is defensive and has a yield - a bank, insurance company, a REIT [real estate investment trust] or international oil - something, ... that might actually make you money.

We need another bumper yield like we had last year or this is going to be a very difficult year to make ends meet.

This is really a stock picker's market and not an index picker's market. I'm not buying stocks on a group's performance ever.

In writing advertising it must always be kept in mind that the customer often knows more about the goods than the advertising writers because they have had experience in buying them . . .

The stock has run up sharply. I suggest buying the counter on dips.
