    FTR/CTL which is the better of the two?

    Both are down of weak earnings, but FTR pays 10.6% dividend a bit higher than CTL.

    • If you want short term dividends gofor FTR and then move on; get your dididend and get out. But you have to buy enough to cover costs. If you want long term money go for CTL I have made market in CTL since the orgional issue at $7.00 a share. bought and sold over the years. Have put two through college with no debt, Paid the EX $500,000. for my freedom and still am making profits. If it gets to $31.5 I will buy 3 or 4,000 more shares. Should level out after that and back to making money. Their history speaks of a well managed, highly acwquiring corp and I don't expect many changes in their attitude.
