    The bubble isn't in dividend payers, writes Tadas Viskanta, it's in calling dividends a bubble.

  • No, I tend to disagree kind sir,
    if I may?

    The only fundamental that matters in the throes of a depression,(which thanks to Greenspan first, and Bubble Blowin Ben last!) we are mired in is,

    CASH!
    KING Dollar!
    Be LIQUID in an Illiquid world,
    and you would be King!

    Don't have much use for Kings though.
    Not at all enamored of our present King, and those EAR'S?
    Good lord!
    Those things!....
