This is why I think I'll just let it ride. I don't think I want to get into crunching the numbers to figure out if it's a good deal or not or at what price that changes. I have the shares now, they are earning a dividend, and I'll be rolled into another great company soon. If the sale of KMP wasn't already known, I'd be all over buying more though. Otherwise, things are peachy as far a I'm concerned. Thanks Greg.

Erik, I think that's a decent way to look a stock choice.
