You claim a special dividend will help avoid need for further investment from other sources??!!
The OPPOSITE is true. If the company throws away its capital, then it WILL need further investment (dilution).
Apparently you own a substantial share of the company, great, but it seems you can't see the wood for the trees. You clearly want a dividend....but I can't see that until we are the other side of $4.
