You Again!, Now I know I don't have to find you the big bucks on the IPO
deal.  Why don't you take the dividends in cash and pay the silly little
tax? You're only getting 3%, which is mighty good by the way. If you
don't want to pay taxes QUIT MAKING SO MUCH MONEY!!

If you're not doing the IRA thing, you should. Use the bundle you'll
make from the IPO.

One last idea, especially here at year's end. Donate your dividends. ;-)
