Didn't you once say that you had 200,000 shares at 4 cents? That would be a $40,000 dividend check. If I am reading the PR correctly, this is a special year end dividend and they will also be paying the normal quarterly dividend of 10 cents. If that is the case, your dividend check would be $60,000. Sometimes it pays to buy and hold. About one in a million times. You did the right thing.
