Re: Investor sentiment/appetite for risk. 
Yeah, it'll be hard to get normalized earnings
until the second quarter, I think. Surely they'll
make some announcement about the distribution, even
if it's only to say that they're still planning
one. Pipe MLPs...

Re: Investor sentiment/appetite for risk. 
Well-stated, iner. I was talking about short-term stuff
(should have been investor sentiment rather than consumer
sentiment, BTW). The next news item to move the stock
will be the distribution...

KMB&&39;s lost decade 
KMB crossed $60 in 2000. The "aughts" decade
was, for many stocks, a lost decade. The price has
stayed around $60 except for a precipitous drop in
March, 2009. You...

Liquor store privatization in the US

Consumer sentiment/appetite for risk.

a lot of us by surprise. But it illustrated how fear
can quickly douse the appetite for risk. The risk,
of course, is just how big the distribution will

Re: It&&39;s a good time to buy/add KMB here 
Yep, I'm a first time KMB buyer, 100 shares at
60 and 100 more at 59.60. I didn't get the bottom,
but in reality we rarely do. I'm content at this
price. Some recession issues, but the Clorox results
indicate that...

Re: BUY 
I don't know why it's dropping, other than
the sorry state of the British economy. However, I
bought ANOTHER 100 share at $65.60, and I'm happy
to be in at that price, even though it went lower
after my buy.

Re: BUY 
Yeah, I bought another 100 shares last night at $66.60.

Re: Measuring dividend return 
Sorry you feel that way. I just find XTEX a good case
study in investor sentiment. I don't think the
small number of retail investors that visit this site
have the ability to affect the stock price, if that's
your implication.

Re: Measuring dividend return 
I doubt that XTEX can support a 5% distribution. I
think it can support 8%, but only on the premise that
it can continue growing the distribution. I think
that everyone has to decide about tax consequences
