Question: Extra shares=dilution? Extra shares sold= share decline? I just don't understand the benefit of extra shares. If it's free money as some say here, then short term traders may likely sell them for a gain. Consequently you just have more shares on the market at a lower price. Wouldn't a stock split be more appropriate? 'would appreciate some insight here.

> READ THIS: The dividend is for shareholders of record on January 6, >1998. I bought a few thousand shares yesterday. I received my e-mail >confirmation today(from Scwhab) and actually read it. My settlement >date is not until January 7th!!! I think you meant 1999, not 1998! After reading your message, I called Schwab (I was skeptical of the dividend so I only bought 500 shares through Schwab yesterday at $9 - wow! what a run-up!) and their opinion is that "shareholders of record on January 6, 1999" refers to those whose buy date, not settlement date, is on or before January 6th. I hope they're right. However, the little research that I was able to do on "restricted shares" tells me that there may be a holding period of somewhere between 6 months and 2 years on the dividend shares. Tom
