Oversold, but bought too early on the dip. Sold when roared back...too soon. Only a tidbit left in portfolio so just sitting on it for shits and giggles.

My SKYF shares rolled into HBAN when the deal closed 7/1/07. Have road it down. Last CEO sent out letters to shareholders stating that after a preferred placement, and cutting its dividend in half, that it now can support again its original dividend...but instead will conservatively support its capitalization ratio. Things got worse, he left, new CEO comes in, cuts dividend, ceases bonuses, buys a ton of shares, etc and now there is more optimism. Even Cramer likes them now as a spec. In too deep to sell, nowhere to go but up...which in time it will do...or maybe get sold. Dividend increase would be a sign things are improving.

No debt, good company, Colorado company, price dip...bought too soon, didn't sell when I was up. It has a history of raising dividends, buying back shares, doing share dividends and small split. Only concern I have is growth. It needs to grow and I wonder how it will handle growth. Economic slowdown has hurt it some but it is still debt free and profitable.

Bought on a dip, and has dipped more like everything else, as a hedge versus volatility, to diversify my portfolio, and for the dividend. Will be a long term hold.

Added McGraw-Hill at the end of October '07 for a variety of reasons. I had been watching the company for years and had been looking for an entry point. It is, like many other companies, way down. I think it will be a long term beneficiary of NewsCorp's Dow Jones purchase. I have a feeling CNBC will eventually need to get additional content from established companies. The company has significant moats in the educational and financial markets. Of any stock I think this will be the most likely one I'll hold onto for years, even though it lost half its value from where I bought it at one time. It has since risen but I'm still down. The dividend doesn't hurt and there is a history of it being raised annually.

Arbitrage play that has since soured. Curious about allocation of $1billion+ severance fee. Probably the healthiest of any casino stock. Very unhappy it pulled out of Cherokee County, KS, contract. Held onto figuring it would rebound some. It has and now considering selling and rebuying it back lower. Don't see how it can sustain $33-$35.

Newest purchase. What J. Cramer calls an accidental yielder, my cost value at purchase was $23.94. This company has controlling interest in OKS, an MLP with a high yield. Kansas Gas, whom I pay my bill to, is a subsidiary of what essentially is a utility company with gas and oil interests. Long haul hold, wish I'd had more $$ to buy more than I did. Hit the nail on the head with this one. Raising it's DVD 5% summer '09.
