This Stock Yields 5% And Is A Great Long-Term Hold

The stock is fairly valued on next year's earnings estimates and expensive on earnings growth expectations but has great near- and long-term earnings growth estimates. The company pays a phenomenal dividend. The immediate risk is to the downside and that's why I've written calls against the name, but it's a great long-term name.
