David,

I noticed you sold PDS and HAL. Any particular reasons? I hold PDS and watching HAL.

Vlad:

Sold PDS in response to news that Company was cutting payout distribution & to raise cash position. Subsequently, I did invest in Advantage Income (AAV)& Provident Energy Trust (PVX), which--in my opinion--offer stronger long-term [total return: capital gains plus dividends]growth potential.

HAL was sold because of fears that the new Congress might subject the Company to Iraq over-billing controversies.
