RE:Remember 2013's special cash dividends7Twiggy, I am not so sure a huge special dividend is a good idea. The share price will just drop by the same amount on the x-div date. I'd rather have a capital gains and pay that tax, than pay the more expensive taxes on dividends. If the company can increase the dividend yield over time on a regular basis, I believe the shareprice will rise slowly and steadily and the markets will pay a higher multiple for the stock. Right now, this stock is a nice safe haven from the consolidation happening elsewhere. The uneligible dividend catches my eye. Why did they make it uneligible? Why not eligible? Almost sounds like a private company in the making which means they have to pay for the remaining 20% shares outstanding. Thoughts?
