I don't want to see a special dividendNot that I wouldn't enjoy spending it! But it is short sighted and while it may reward those who have stuck it out as they watched the SP drop, it wouldn't mean squat to new investors who would think the company has shot it's bolt and wont do so again. No, better reduce debt and/or buy back shares. That has an attraction for potential buyers and that's what will ultimately lift the price.
