George, EVV just announced a 10% reduction in its monthly distribution as well as a possible change in the make up of that distribution. Does this change your view of it (March 21st, 2011) as a good long term holding for retirement accounts?

EVV may drop in price over the next few days because of the distribution reduction, but I have found this can often provide a good entry point for new purchases as long as the underlying NAV value holds up. Since the last ex-div date of March 8, the net asset value of EVV has been holding up pretty well, and has increased from 16.89 to 16.95.
