Crazy thing is given that Hima sale cash/per share = 33 even if we lower the special dividend to 20 bob(Amason's said they don't want the special). That is a return of over 30% and then wait for Amason pay day. Crazy! Heh, well not quite +100%, my ABP was 38, so my gain is about 70% When I bought it the price soon fell to below 30 (that's when I really should have piled in). I actually thought the investment was a dud, but I had no choice but to keep on holding over the years. When it rose above 30 I just kind of held it since I didn't have immediate plans to redeploy the investment. It was also below my ABP. Then boom! Announced takeover. This stocks trading thing is not for the faint of heart. It needs stamina. And never trade with funds that you cannot afford to lose COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU
