Great points again Greg. I had forgotten "compounding dividend vs stock growth" (either are important when comparing your ROI vs TR) and refreshing our memories about this is an important (cause its mentioned a few hundred pages back).

On another note, AT&T bought Directv some time back and I missed this transaction on the news. I'm a huge Directv fan and also just found out they launched some "gigatron spaceship" satelite for better band width as video and on demand will become bigger "players".

I see them A- merging (still pending FTC approval) for better market diversification and B- Directv i'm sure sees the programming side "not growing as much" (with the competitors changing how we can prescribe our own programming) so i believe their positioning themselves into a much more wholesaler role. Does this make sense?

Sorry i know this is a "how to buy" thread, not "what to buy" but i'm hoping my third paragraph is more related to thinking theory.....
