hanrahan - they go ex tomorrow (Monday) - so I expect if you haven't bought GCL prior, you will not get the SPEC DIV etc ... perhaps some folks were selling on the expect of the forseeable drop in price come the DIV etc. I am happy to be on board with this company - the takeover bid and offer looked pretty good to my untrained eye. but if buying when ex - you will miss out on the DIVS
