Q: Hi team,
In one of your answers today regarding scr not getting Meg, you mentioned scr giving shareholders a $10 dividend ??? As in 10/ $38.92= 25.7%?! Does that mean if I buy scr shares tomorrow and this dividend gets paid out it’s a 25.7% instant return? Or , did you have to be a shareholder before the initial takeover offer? This type of special dividend seems like a crazy waste of company resources that compounds nothing for the company long term, but if I can get a special dividend of over 25% why wouldn’t I buy it and sell after the dividend?
