Is this worth getting into for the special dividend? Seems like a good dividend growth stock, though in it's infancy.

It's already up $4.50 so I'm not buying it. You may want to buy on a dip. The stock will be reduced on the ex-dividend date by the amount of the dividend and there may be a lot of sellers then.

Depends on if people buy it on the ex-dividend date. The stock price will be reduced by $7 on that day by the exchanges.

COST is 2% of VDC & may see year end divy boost.

My guess this is a "financial cliff" manoeuvre to beat the US out of some shekels. Probably going forward COST will keep the dividend flat or have smaller increases than they might otherwise have.

Costco has many people on Wall Street who own the shares. The question someone needs to ask is are they going to sell their shares after they collect the special dividend?
