good move, I think. As much as the future for AKE looks set in concrete, I’ve experienced some horrible crash and burn episodes (2000 tech boom comes to mind….). your return on paying down a non deductible mortgage debt is a decent ~5% now and there’s nothing like getting that monkey off your back. I sold 13,000 for 13.99 back a few months as I still had a substantial tax loss on my tax return. Bought 5,000 back for 11.99, and some other more conservative income stocks, and my margin loan is history…
