Since the ex-dividend date is two days before the shareholder of record date, I was a large shareholder of grifco stock at that time. In fact I think I have tens of thousands of CTBG coming my way. Wouldn't that be sweet irony. Maybe I'll get myself elected to the BOD LOL.
Then again if I don't get my shares I can sue both companies, now.
I bet there's a trick somewhere. As in they didn't invite more than a handful of people to the shareholder meeting. How do they pick who gets shares?
