I always am blessed more by others sharing than my own feeble efforts. Let's indeed keep up the spirit of support and cooperation.

A wonderful sentiment. Too self-deprecating, mind you, given your amazing record ;-)

Kendall, or anyone else, I'm trying to figure out ICTS. $7.28 EPS in Q1, returning a special $2.25 dividend. Of the $7.28, $.84 was from continuing operations. If it can be annualized (and this is a bit iffy as it looks like the latter part of last year was weak after a strong start, so this might be a pattern), that's $3.20 on a $10 stock??? Good area to be in right now, too, air security. Nice rev gains this year over last in Q1.

The div date of record was Jun 3 but the X-div date is Jun 17. I'm looking at the chart and wondering if it looks good or looks like distribution to suckers who thought they'd take the dividend and palm off the stock X-div on someone who isn't aware of the distribution of equity. The Fool has a nice piece on dividends where they warn specifically against small players thinking they can work this game to their advantage.

Any opinions on the stock and/or chart with this info?

TIA
