You're right, there aren't any that I've seen right now. Maybe the oil patch but you said you already own some.

Well, it's not grossly out of line here. If you've got a few years, around $100 doesn't seem too terrible to me as long as they keep raising the dividend. If you think it's a mega growth company going forward, then it's cheap here.

I agree although I've been playing with Windows 10 and I think it will be the impetus for some corporate upgrades -- especially those that hung on to Windows XP (and there are plenty).

I thought you were going to purchase ULVR last week? It's still about 7% off its high a month or so ago. I was going to calculate its P/E but it looks like Yahoo! Finance uses USD to show earnings and not in its native currency. I'd still purchase here and let them straighten out their currency and product mix issues over the next year or two. In the meantime, munch on the dividends.

I'll repeat what I said the other day ... that does not strike me as a bad thing to do.
