Picked up some a few minutes before the bell. Looks like you have to be a shareholder on Tuesday so maybe I can profit on some late buying or just wait for the cash dividend. Mmmm, dividend.

This looks to good to be true! A .33 cent dividend on a .95 cent stock....It looks as if the price was inflated on this news, so when the dividend is paid it will probably drop that day like crazy, actually giving you a loss. Also, how is this dividend received?

I imagine it's probably paid right into your account at the beginning of December. These dividends arent unheard of (remember Microsoft's 3 dollar a share dividend). But you're probably right about it being too high -- it's run up on the news. Now of course it might run up further this week under more buying pressure -- who knows? Maybe I'll pick up more on a dip. But hey it's money in your pocket if you dont mind holding onto the stock for awhile. At least it's a real company. My dad bought their juice.

Im gonna buy on the 26th, the last day before the dividend, then sell the 27th, i doubt it will jump down .33 within late day 26th and early 27th, this could be a real profit maker.

Let me get this straight, if I own this stock at the end of the day on November 26, 2004, and I decide to sell the morning of November 27, 2004, on December 1st I still get my .33 dividend correct?

Well according to my broker, he just told me that I could buy BEFORE DEC 2ND and still get the dividend..that doesnt really make sense, considering what the PR says and what I've been told about dividends. <sigh> That doesnt even make sense. The pay date is the 1st!
I dunno what to tell you. Buy by the 26th or earlier to be sure.

Check with your broker.
Yup, I agree totally. Which means if you truly want to be safe, buy by tomorrow the 23rd.

This is way off topic for this forum but if you like dividends, check out IMH and PTF. The stocks are a little pricey right now but the dividends are sweet. PTF pays out monthly and IMH pays quarterly.

IMH is beautiful. Last quarters dividend check was around 750.00. I always forget about it and then when it shows up in the mailbox it's a pretty cool thing. Those are the only two that I'm in but I'm sure there's more of them out there. A decent screener should be able to give you plenty of them using yield as a criteria. Good Luck.
quote:Originally posted by stocktrader22: The question is, do I have to hold it until December 1st?
I just talked to my broker (Scottrade). They said that you cam sell anytime after the ex-dividend and get the dividend. In this case the after the 26th. I also asked if the trade had to settle by then and they said, "You can buy it that day and still get the dividend".

Heres what i got from an email response from scottrade:
Thank you for your email. I am showing this dividend is a stock dividend and based on current information you will need to purchase the stock on 12/1 to receive the stock dividend and hold it through 12/2. If this were a cash dividend you will need to purchase the stock 3 business days before the record date and hold the stock through record date.
Well doesnt the PR say you have to hold it by November 26, 2004? I dont know what or who is right now, because if I have to buy the stock on the dividend day which makes no sense, and then hold it through December 2nd, wouldnt the price drop significantly and the .33 mean nothing.
posted
My Scottrade broker basically said the same thing...I can buy Dec 1st and still get the dividend and hold it through til the 2nd. It doesnt make sense though, nor that email you received. IT'S A CASH DIVIDEND. Scottrade is either braindead or has their facts wrong, IMO. I mean, the PR is pretty plain it's a cash dividend. I dunno.
I'll call them again tomorrow.

Ive been looking more into this, and it appears that the reason for this special dividend is from all the money they are getting from ocean spray for them selling their marshes and plants etc...Therefore, is NRCNA actually going to have a business anymore, after the dividend are we looking at a .30-.40 company, where the dividend would do nothing and we would all lose?

According to this, the money came from one plant and some financing they received:
"The dividend will be paid from a combination of proceeds from the recently announced transaction involving the sale of Northland's Wisconsin Rapids processing plant to Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., as well as new financing of approximately $26.0 million provided by certain of Northland's existing lenders."

I put some thought into wether or not to buy into this company just for the dividend... I decided not to buy in for several reasons... if you look at the chart's it jumped up to .90 when the dividend was announced but it was hovering between .65 and .70 . So even if you get in for 2000 get your 2100 shares (.95) get your dividend payout 693.00 and then sell back at the .70 you dont gain anything and im pretty sure its going to drop sharply as soon as the payout is done.
So if your going to do it the trick is knowing when to drop out and what to put your sell order limit at in order to not by passed by. I found it really wasent worth the time because theres not enough information as to when to sell the stock and still get the dividend payout and WILL I beable to sell the stock and still make a decent profit?
As far as the company goes i think its still going to stay in business because of this "as well as new financing of approximately $26.0 million provided by certain of Northland's existing lenders." So if they were going OOB they wouldnet get more money from lenders just to payout dividends to holders.
how far will it drop? i have no idea would i invest money just for the special dividend? at first look yes... knowing what i know now.. no.. thank god i didnt...
just money monopoly money's worth

If they are going to be profitable in the future and continue as a viable company, I wouldnt imagine they would stay down at 69 cents forever...just my opinion..

In response to the above post by Monopoly Money:
In exchange for the assets purchased and settlement of the lawsuit, Ocean Spray paid Northland approximately $28.0 million in cash.
Northland and Ocean Spray also entered into an agreement for a period of ten years pursuant to which Ocean Spray will receive, clean, store and process into concentrate all cranberries harvested from Northland's and its contract growers' cranberry properties for a fixed fee.
In addition, Ocean Spray paid to Northland a $5.0 million fee in exchange for a 180-day option to purchase up to 14 individual cranberry properties for an additional aggregate cash payment of $42.5 million plus certain adjustments at the date of purchase. Northland's Meadow Valley, Associates West and Three Lakes cranberry properties are not subject to the option.
Northland will continue to own and market the Northland, Seneca and TreeSweet brands of cranberry and other fruit juices at retail stores and other distribution outlets throughout the United States. Northland will also continue to manage its grower contracts with 44 growers in Wisconsin and Oregon.
John Swendrowski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Northland, said, "We are extremely pleased to announce this successful transaction, which is consistent with our goal of exploring strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value.
We believe that fixing our processing costs for ten years will further increase shareholder value."

No, November 26th isnt an issue, according to the broker. When you have to hold it too though, is another matter. Buy it by the 1st, and hold it past the 2nd I believe..

Okay, I just re-verified it. You have to buy and hold the stock BEFORE AND THROUGH the ex-div date. In NRCNA's case, that date is Dec 2nd. Which means you must buy it by Dec 1 and hold it until Dec 3rd.
