It will be coming up on a year since I first added AFN to my portfolio. Despite a very negative market and AFN cutting her dividend she keeps pushing along. Investors are slowly starting to come back in and I finally feel more comfortable about her future. June 20 08 is x div. and I will be looking at picking up more shares. As the realestate market come out from under her cloud AFN will take off.

Update 07/11:

AFN will announce on 906 it's plans for dividend payout. With a current market price well below cash value of AFN the 2008 dividends will be paid out as planned. Look for a dividend cut for 2009 to .13 per quarter.
