insane dividends

[bar1080]

No and I probably should. I realized when I made that post that one thrust of this board is special dividends.

What percentage of stocks pay special cash divs in a given year? I've been investing for decades and can't recall ever getting one. I know that this year may be somewhat special. Still, I own a lot of cash-rich blue chips and and while I've gotten some div increases, I'm not getting one-shot payouts.
