It's better to underestimate... that way their stocks won't drop in value when the actual dividend is announced.

If expectations are low and results are high... Welcome to the moon, how may I be of service?

It's not a small dividend. It is pretty much in line with all the big board companies. People just got the .10 figure stuck in their head which would have been a HUGE dividend.

And I don't mind it at all. The point of a dividend is to reward loyal shareholders, not ones who come in a day before the date just to collect a dividend and sell out as soon as possible. Most people here have a pretty small cost basis because we've been loyal shareholders. For example, this divy is about 8% of the money I have in this stock. That is pretty sweet, especially considering I wasn't expecting anything.

I have a TON of shares and personally glad the div is small. It serves its purpose by exposing the true shorts and it lets them retain $$ for future growth. The majority of us are here for the fundamentals/potential of this company.Not a dividend! The vast majority of us are long term holders.
