    I used to own UVV and was surprised to see the sharp drop but don't see any news. They are vulnerable to market deterioration from direct tobacco sales to cigarette companies by their client base. Many high dividend stocks have problems or potential problems making them very risky investments. I just got the shaft from AMR preferred.
