RE:News tomorrow on the Special Dividend? Critical Mind I don't expect the special dividend to be announced until mid month and more likely around April 17/18 if it follows the last 2 special dividends. Investors will have to jump in quickly as the effective date is usually only a week or bit more than a week after the announcement. Investors wanting the dividend will have to start buying soon as the announcement IMO is less than 2 weeks from today. The special dividend will be in your acount on May 1. The great part is the Q1 earnings will follow soon after. IMO it appears the shorters and hedge funds who are shorting are working desperately together at the end of each trading day to bring down the price so that they can clear off their accounts. Their problem is that few investors have any desire to sell as most forecast price to increase. So the shorters will drive up the share price in an effort to buy Tou shares to clear out their shorts. This is a great story for loyal Tou shareholders.
