Q: I have owned Legacy (LEG) for a while at about $7. I understand they have some debt and the market seems to like the dividend model of other companies in the sector instead of the Legacy growth model. I have thought about biting the bullet and following the dividend herd. Could you suggest a Legacy strategy for me for this year?
Awesome service guys!!!!
