Well, that's just weird. I wonder if it's a weird outcome of the shutdown and recovery. It looks like it's a legit company. I have no idea how to value that other than what it says. [Reply]

I heard it was a 27% dividend but my etrade account page for ZIM says 67% [Reply]

I'm pretty sure ETRADE has access to computers. If not this whole thing is screwed
Anyway isn't it just basically a stock split they are calling a dividend.? Not sure what the difference is. [Reply]

Apparently they did a one-time special dividend of 27 percent, so it's at least that. But it's not a guarantee at all going forward that it'll happen again.
I have one stock that did that. FF gave me something like a 23 percent special dividend last year. It's kind of goofy because my account shows that the stock was down by 30+ percent last year, but the return that is presented excludes dividends. The stock really more or less broke even if you count the regular dividend and the special dividend. [Reply]
