insane dividends

[bar1080]

Agree, it's something to follow down the road. I can even imagine a few troubled firms paying special dividends just to drain cash before problems become evident to creditors. In that case. a red flag for bankruptcy on the horizon.

Sometimes a big div may be a sign the company sees few growth opportunities. Perhaps a sign they're going to wind down operations.

Offhand, I don't see these one shot divs as any big deal one way or the other. My best guess: a very slightly bullish indicator, one factor to be considered among many.
