I like what u r saying fatlak...especially the climb to 55c (in which case I will definitely dump and re-enter ex-divi) but it should be noted that the TLS ex-divi slide took it to the high 2.50's......
in any case, I don't think TLs is a good comparison....it's a blue chip with lots of shorting activity, future fund dumping and neutral sentiment.......albeit a potential lengthy uptrend underway...not to mention the tsunami factor???
