I do a lot of dividend payout trades and I don't sell them until the comeback up. Which all the ones that I have traded do. But they have all been solid companies. This one is a strange one. I don't like the fact that it hasn't shot up or done anything. So if it hasn't done anything maybe it won't go down by $10. So what do people recommend? When is a good time to get out? Have people used stop losses? I don't want to use a stop loss because I don't want it to sell before the actual dividend requirement time. Thoughts?

This is a cute way of creating a "poison pill" for potential takeover artists. The health care industry is in consolidation right now. lots of takeovers "in the wind". This way management gets to pay themselves a hugh bonus ($10./share they hold & did'nt pay for, managements shares were paid for the most part with shareholder equity via stock vesting & bonus's) and keep the reins of the company in their hands. Any reasonable takeover suitor will think twice when they see an additional 2.4 billion of debt land on the balance sheet particularly if none of the 2.4B went in the T/O artist's pockets, only the debt.

I'll buy a put on ex-dividend day. Weak financials here… basically they are taking debt to pay this dividend. I’ll buy a put on ex-dividend day.

Shareholders who sell their shares prior to or on the payment date of March 1, 2007 will also be selling their right to receive the special cash dividend. Shareholders are advised to contact their financial advisor before selling their shares. I haven't seen this happen before. What will happen to it's price on March 2nd? Will it lose half it's value?
