Nobody is asking me “what did you do for me this quarter” like the fund managers. I’ve owned the shares since the early 80’s and enjoyed some splits and nice dividends. Of course that is just one perspective.

They did just cut it recently by a little bit. One of the interesting things about owning the stock is that one is a member of a fairly small “club”. There aren’t that many people/entities that own the shares. And, I am under the impression that those that own them hold on to them.
