I found a good article on CLL....Jason probably read it by now but I don't see any posts about it.

Connacher Oil and Gas Turns Down Acquisition Offer – Will The Secret Suitor Now Go Hostile?

If you're too lazy to click on the link. I spoiler the article because it's pretty damn long.

Spoiler!

Under $13 a share now. I'm wondering if anyone is considering a buy out with the stream of never ending bad news for RIM.

would be nice to see mobilicity up there, maybe once they raise enough equity, they can give better reception to their customers at the same low costs they currently operate at

playing devils advocate, because i don't think its a bad ploy at all, esp at the current multiples - but if a takeover never happens, you're left with a company that perhaps you don't want to hold, doesn't fit your portfolio, etc... def. a play for your 'speculation' funds... but i do have to say, their patents are probably worth owning them (likely similar story with Eastman Kodak)

Last day to bank your capital gain/loss tomorrow for the 2011 calendar year.

Hope everyone did well with their portfolios.

RIM... yikes.

CLL, not much to say, they are likely sitting on the approval for the Algar expansion and using it as an "ace up the sleeve" in JV or buyout negotiations. For the people that got in low it seems CLL has established a new "bottom", at least for the time being.

Not sure how I feel about my purchase of V.AOS...

^no ONE leading the pack...
I bought CUU at multiple different price points, brought my ENTIRE portfolio up over 50% at one point in time and didn't leave in time only to leave at a small loss from what I originally started at...

Btw, does anyone here buy stocks just for the dividend payout, only to sell a day later? are there any implications of doing this?

the thing is, everyone knows the exdividend dates anyways, so imo it's factored into the price somewhat.

what i sometimes like to do though is to buy say a month before i expect a dividend increase from companies that can actually afford to pay out a decent div.

with high yielders with lower market cap, you'll see an almost equivalent fall off the day after the dividend - the dividend really is a payment for owning teh stock for the entire dividend period, so this plan doesn't really work (if it did, it'd make those stocks spikey as hell)

I'm thinking of buying something with high yield maybe ~10 days (to TRY and avoid volatility) before the expected dividend rate during the typical dividend rallies.. watch the stock rally up, get the dividend and cash out

I thought that for most stock with dividends, on the day of record, it drops by an amount equal to the dividend yield therefore your strategy wouldn't work? :S

While true, if you were looking at stock XYZ at $20 today with a 5% yield and again a year from now. If the share price didn't move, are you really going to think that you loss out on a 5% move (from the yield)? Likely not. And that's the beauty of dividends.
