Not what I'd like but more than double the current inflation rate. I'm sitting on a YOC* of 6.66% and the stock has doubled since the divestiture so I shouldn't complain.

This is equivalent to an annual dividend of $1.32 per share, up from $1.22 per share in 2014. The first quarterly dividend is payable April 1, 2015, to shareowners of record as of March 16, 2015.
Much nicer.
Wife will be happy with this. More than I was expecting with the myriad of issues they're facing.* I calculate YOC including reinvested dividends because that's more of my cash invested.
