Cramer's got them...at least he's better than me in terms of fundamental analysis...so I may try trading them with technical analysis, knowing that they have some kind of underlying support by their secure dividends...if this is the bottom, or at least some people think it is, they will start bottom fishing for value companies...and stocks with high and safe dividends with good fundamentals will be their targets...I'm thinking that they will provide support for these stocks....just testing and see if this method works.
