Curious for thoughts (except for Auburns) Typically share price goes down by the amount of the special. In our scenario $12 of the $15 is tax free but reduces your acb by the $12. Once you sell pou, ithe gain gets triggered. Why would anyone accept the dividend only to pound out the stock and pay the tax?
I am a buyer so interested to hear the other side of the equation. Open invitation to all sellers.
