Say what? Do you in your infinite wisdom not think the stock would rally far more than a $1.00 if everyone was aware the company was now paying dividends? Do you not think individuals and funds who only buy stock that pays dividends would not push the stock higher? Yes on the date the stock goes x dividend it would open lower by that amount but that don't mean it will be lower when the day is over.

So in being honest be sure and show all the events that may happen if the company announced a dividend. Of course you can say the stock may fall, as a lot of things may can happen, but in my opinion we would see the stock raly several points. This is my vies, and may be contrary to yours.

Thanks Count, I can see your logic, but somehow I just think it wouldn't really be the same, hehehe.

The assumption that the stock value would go down upon the payment of a dividend may be in question. I think the stock would go up with the market's anticipation of the dividend. The majority of my stuff is in an ira anyway... tax is not an issue at this time.
