The rights often take a few days to show up and even then the automated system says "you have securities that cannot be valued" (paraphrasing). Yes - the postcard came. I assumed I would only get one mailing and that it just changed form. I don't know about institutions, but I think ex rts is usually a great time to buy. The stock usually goes down in value more than the dividend value -- especially if we're talking $.80 in dividend (at $9, $4 premium on DOCC over rts cost /ratio of 5=.8 per shr) Also, even if it's $1 shr dividend, SFE almost always falls more than dividend value (say $2-3). The irony is that's when it's a better deal because not only is there the built-in value, but there is one less "unknown" -- private companies with no market valuation alloted.
