tbecker101, you really need to think twice before you post such nonsense, or at least seek some financial advice. Perhaps you’re not long out of school, or maybe still at school, and are therefore reaching out for help, but you clearly don’t understand stocks and shares too well. No-one’s talking about past performance predicting the future, any more than you’re predicting Estia’s future performance. How much have you lost in Estia to date? For your benefit again, here is the reason GHC is a great stock for longer term investors.

In my view, GHC is a great stock for longer term investors as follows. DEFENSIVE (key sectors of aged healthcare and retirement living) plus YIELD (reasonable in the current environment and better than the banks) plus GROWTH (good pipeline of upcoming activities within key growth sectors) plus STABILITY (keeping under the radar and trending nicely upwards – not subject to much manipulation).

Now tbecker101, let’s have some comprehensive comments from you why EHE is a great stock for longer term investors, but post them on the EHE board please (after school’s closed) and remember, there's more to a stock's analysis than a forecast dividend yield. Sometimes a high and increasing dividend yield can be a sign of trouble ahead.
