The numerous companies I have had special divis off is to long for me to remember off the cuff, but if you research special divis, and stock consolidation,you will find that many times you can end up on the wrong side of the trade when the stock is consolidated. Off the top of my head this happened with NG. MRO.LRE and many more that I have received over the years.
I would say I have found tender offers to be more profitable !! Also SSE is getting very near its sell point for another nice profit.GLA.
