IDWS current pps .28. Dividend expectations as follows:

IDS also announced today the Board of Directors is continuing its discussions regarding the issuance of a special dividend payout to the common stockholders of IDS Worldwide, Inc. from the proceeds of the sale of IDS Homeland Security Division. IDS will discuss dividend options with Legal and Tax Counsel today. IDS believes a special dividend to common stockholders is the best way to increase shareholder value. The exact special dividend value has not been calculated but will range from $.37 to $.87 per common share. IDS will announce the completion of the Division sale and dividend plans after its meetings with counsel.

Looks like they are going to give a divident for sure. Question is how much. If bottom is .37, would think many would be jumping on it with current pps where it is.

Den,

Nothing is guaranteed. Do some DD. You will see recent announcement(s) about 2 bids for Homeland Security Division for $35-40 million. This is what they are talking about distributing as dividend to increase pps. From the info, the dividend seems to be a sure thing except for the amount. It closed at $.24 today, so you figure where it might go. Even at $.37, it would be over 50% increase above today's close. Granted, this does assume they are going to do what they say they will do.

Thanks guys! Could use some stars....like 5!

Any of able to get in on UPDA? I bought that at .39 and it closed above 1.00 today. Expect it to go higher, but don't be angry with me if it does not. It's a natural gas stock on the move.

Dusty,

Yes, you should have held. Won't surprise me if it hits somewhere between .50-.80 before the dividend is dispersed. 100% of the $40mil on the sub sale suggests the div might be near .80.

Den,

Of the two, I think for you a better ride would be IDWS. It closed at .38 today. With all those monies going toward a dividend, I think it could hit .80. That's why I have not yet sold my 30K. It may even go higher. Remember this is just MY opinion. I would hate to see you lose money if I am wrong. That is very troubling to me. Honest opinion, though, is it will hit .80 minimum.

Please make your decision based upon your own finances and DD. You probably see no less in DD than I do, but I am not sure.

PS: Always remember the stock market is the world's largest casino....and we are playing with the lowest form in that casino market.

Well, yeah, that's part of entrophy. It's natural law. According to an old proverb that says every man will have a woman and a dog that love him. I don't know what woman either has, but Peas and Dust have MMs.

One thing that puzzles me about cash dividends..dont they usually adjust the share price downwards by the same amount as the dividend? I remember with the Microsoft $3 special divvy..after it was handed out, the stock dropped 3 bucks..if for some bizarre reason the PPS stayed at .80 when the divvy was given out..how do they keep it (the PPS) from falling to zero?

Too late, I guess the five you got last spring from me wasn't enough. I can give ya an imaginary high five though.

High Five Wallace! Satisfied? [Razz]

No, no I think you're misunderstanding me. [Smile]
The market dictates that the price automatically has to fall by the above dividend amount. So what would happen if the PPS was .79 the day the .80 dividend was given out? Would they have to hold off the divvy til the PPS rose above .80, or does the market have special rules for weird situations like that?

No special rules. They would declare a Record Date for the dividend. It would be traded x dividend in the usual manner. Shareholders of record would get the dividend. The mkt price per share would fall (or rise) to whereever the market (buyers/sellers) think it should or could go. Granted, the pps should fall, who knows by how much if any.

The dividend will be declared for shareholder's of record at a future date? i.e. Nov. 3 is this correct? I'm just making sure that I don't buy a bunch of shares and they say Sep.10. shareholders of record get the dividend.

I have seen no sign of any Record Date, Pay Date or X-Div Date yet. The X-Div Date is prior to and based upon the Record Date. As far as I know, not yet set. NASDAQ sets the X-Dividend Date.

Reversed the timing on the X Date above. Must have stock delivery by Record Date to get divs. If I remember correctly, buy at least 3 business days prior to the Record Date.

PS: Understand for a cash div. X-Date may be prior?

Maybe this will help....maybe not:

Large or Valuable Dividends, Dividends "Not In Kind", and Split-ups Effected as Stock Distributions

When large or valuable cash or stock dividends (usually 20% or more), or a dividend "not in kind" (i.e., a distribution of securities of another issuer), or a split-up is declared, it is the policy to postpone the "ex-dividend" or "ex-distribution" date until the dividend has been paid. The reason for this is so that the stock is not quoted at the substantially lower "ex-dividend" or "ex-distribution" price until the distribution is received by shareholders. If this were not the case, the collateral value of the stock would be reduced between the "ex" date and payment date, and the shareholder might be required to provide additional collateral.

In the case of dividends "not in kind" (regardless of its size in relation to the listed security), it will be necessary to postpone the "ex-dividend" date in the event a market does not exist in the security to be distributed at the time the listed issue would normally be quoted "ex-dividend".

The "ex" date after the payment date makes it possible for shareholders to sell all of their holdings at one time, on a "dividend on" basis (prior to the "ex" date). As a result, purchasers of the stock prior to the "ex" date continue to pay a "dividend on" price, but will not receive the dividend payment from the company. Accordingly, the "dividend on" purchaser is entitled to receive the dividend from the seller. The seller, in turn, is required to give the purchaser a due bill, covering the amount of the dividend, to be redeemed on the date fixed by the Exchange.

PS: Oh, hell. Buy at least 3 days before the Record Date and don't sell until after the X-Div Date and you should get the div.

IDS also previously announced that the Board of Directors has decided to use 100% of the proceeds from the buyout for a one time special dividend paid to common stockholders of IDS Worldwide, Inc. stock after various closing costs. IDS has been able to determine the one time special dividend value to be higher than the previously announced range of $.37 to $.87. Certain final closing agreements have now upgraded the range of the one time special dividend value to the shareholders to $.87 and $1.01 per common stock share of IDS Worldwide, Inc. IDS hopes to conclude in the next 48 hours discussion with Tax counsel to determine the exact dividend after closing costs and corporate tax considerations. In any event the value will be at least $.87 per common stock share.

Finally, IDS counsel has informed the Company that under Rule 10b-17 there is a 10 day window prior to "any dividend record date." Therefore, after the one time special dividend value is determined after tax questions completed in the next 48 hours the ex-dividend date will be set and any investors buying the stock up to the ex-dividend date will be eligible to receive the full value of the one time special dividend.

IDS is not issuing any additional shares of IDS Common Stock in connection to this transaction so there will be no dilution to common stock holders of IDS Worldwide, Inc. IDS has not concluded the negotiations for licensing the technology of the Company's various Biometric Technologies and this will not delay the closing but will conclude as a separate transaction.
