I noticed that you've shifted towards a high yield income investing strategy. A lot of times people would associate high yielding with dividend risk and maybe the dividend is more at risk but maybe you can talk a little bit about why you've decided to follow this strategy. I'm seeing interest rates increase and as interest rates increase it puts in my mind if I can get 5% risk-free should I even be buying Johnson and Johnson right now at a 3% yield? It would take me about nine years actually just to reach parity with the risk-free rate right now which is 5%.
