EMCORE Corporation (EMKR) Quote

Undoubtedly weird pattern in the action last few days. SSR on Monday.

60% institutional ownership, not one has sold, this is coiled to run big, just needs the right news, then 5...6....8 will come very fast.

This one is coiled, there is a reason 1-10 shares go through. Catalyst to be announced, PR about complaint with Nasdaq listing, PR about them divesting their other assets in the fiber optics and cable sector, the PR I am waiting for is contract for weapons, that is the PR worth waiting for, not going to dwell about the side ways trading or what have you. Waiting for massive turn around on this ticker.

Lots of single shares going through.

One contract off to the races. 100-200% spike.

Thank you.
Yep any day TD should do its thing and even if they need 30 more days I’ll definitely stick with it.
That company looks very well organized.

Don't like AG at all, I watched last week Thursday before the move never got in. TD should move. I

agb* no good?
Still ~$2 I was wandering about that one.
Btw tdr* about to move just about now.
EMKR

EMKR, is the next Force Protection and Taser combined. Bring on the volume....

Thanks for sharing Dino.
Nice place to be.

Added again today. This has 60% institutional holdings, can't argue with that, just the way it trades shows it is tightly held. Obviously not for everyone, this could either pop one day with some contract news, or it slowly grind up, for me this is mid term hold 7-8 dollars should be realistic for mid term gains.

This is going to pop hard on contract news.

The house just approved the bill amongst funding Ukraine and Israel and also to fund the military for close to 70 billion dollars, once it is crossed the Senate this stock should do well.

Israel just attacked Iran....this is fucked

Israel just attacked Iran. The futures are crashing hard as of this writing, bloody red day tomorrow and all next week. This will do well in times war unfortunately.

nasdaq stocks $1-10 with volume > 100,000

This is moving pretty nice, after paying a sweet dividend! Solid investment with good long term prospects in my opinion.

Yeah so tom we open a 1.50 down?

yeah, I got my special dividend today...nice surprise because I do not even follow this stock

Yes I do think long term it's a solid company from what I've seen. Hoping they have a good earnings next week after receiving that big contract a month ago.

Usually I get it the day after the pay date. Which is tomorrow. I think the long term prospects are good here,...don't you??

You got yours already?

Nice dividend payment today! Good luck to all who invest here.

Quiet board! Anyone else on here?

That is correct; it will drop $1.50 on the ex-date. But...usually within a reasonable period of time, most stocks will gain that adjustment back. The price isn't being dropped because of bad earnings or revenues.

In terms of valuation the company fundamentals are basically the same. Which is why, most of the time...most stocks will gain the ex-date price adjustment back. Especially if we are in a bull market. All of this is my opinion. Evaluate the situation for yourself on the basis of it's own merits.

Good luck...

So according to this site the pps will drop $1.50 on the ex-date:

Everything Investors Need to Know About Special Dividends
Jared CummansOct 14, 2014
Special dividends are one-time cash payouts to shareholders (sometimes referred to as special cash dividends). Sometimes, when a company has extra cash on the books, rather than reinvest it back into the company, it will pay it out to shareholders on a one-off basis.
Background on Special Dividends
Special dividend payments
Special dividends are also known as one-time dividends. These payouts are made to shareholders and declared to be separate from regular dividends. They are typically one-off events and are thus not factored into a stock’s dividend yield.
These one-time dividends have become increasingly popular even among companies that do not pay a regular dividend. In tough economics times, as been the case since after The Great Recession, companies are looking to do something with excess capital. Instead of trying to expand their operations with risky capital investments, they are instead choosing to distribute the profits to shareholders. Complete your investing knowledge; check out Everything Investors Need to Know About Ex-Dividend Dates.
When Are They Paid?
A company will usually pay out a special dividend after strong earnings as a way to reward long-term investors. However, there are times when special dividends are paid out when a company is trying to make changes to its financial structure. For instance, Iron Mountain (IRM ) announced that it would pay out a special dividend amid plans to convert to a Real Estate Investment Trust. Either way, special dividend announcements are typically made in advance of any kind of pay out.
These payouts are often quite large, usually much larger than normal dividend payouts. They can reach prices that represent 30% of a stock’s current price (i.e. a $10 stock may pay out a $3 special dividend) — or even more. This is great for current shareholders. However, it is impossible to predict when a company will payout a special dividend. There are no set schedules or warnings signs that a one time dividend will be coming. If you own the stock and it decides to pay, great; that is an added benefit of being a shareholder.

More on Large Special Dividends
Cash dividend payouts
As stated above, sometimes special cash dividends make up a large percentage of a stock’s price. Many times this means that these large special dividends are applied with certain rules that differentiate them from normal dividends. The biggest difference concerning special dividend stocks is that the ex-dividend (for special payouts) comes after the record and pay date, not before (like is the case with regular dividends or smaller special dividends).
This difference occurs because on the ex-dividend date the stock exchange adjusts the stock price to account for the dividend to be paid out. If this same procedure were to happen in the case for a large dividend, say 25% of the stock price or more, then this might signal a huge drop in share price that could affect many traders and investors.
Rather than deal with these headaches, the stock exchanges apply a special rule to deal with these large one-time dividends. The exchanges (not the companies) set an ex-dividend after the record and pay date. Now, you may be wondering how some might receive their dividend if it is paid before the ex-dividend date (the date on which owners of a stock have the right to receive the dividend). To get around this obstacle, the stocks bought or sold in the period from the record date to the ex-dividend date (the due bill period) are tagged with something called a “due bill.”
The due bill documents are a contract that lays out a stock seller’s obligation to deliver the dividend to the stock buyer. For example, let’s say company XYZ is offering a special dividend that is worth 30% of the current share price. This dividend is tagged with a record date of March 1, a pay date of March 15, and an ex-dividend date of March 18. If an owner of stock from XYZ holds the asset through March 15, he would receive the dividend paid at that point. However, if he were to sell that stock on March 17, then the new owner of the asset on the ex-dividend date of March 18 would have the right to the dividend that the original owner has already pocketed. Therefore, the due bill attached to the stock is a promissory note mandating that the original owner passes on the dividend to the new owner.

March 1 Record Date
March 15 Pay Date
March 18 Ex-Dividend Date
Special Dividend Payout Example
This process is a bit complicated, but it is in place so that a stock’s value is not unfairly compromised in a manner that might impact margin calls or other trading transactions. However, this 25% or more rule is a general rule, not a strict one. Many times foreign dividend paying stocks are not held accountable to this stipulation by the stock exchanges. Moreover, some domestic shares are granted an exclusion from this process. It would benefit investors if the criteria to determine which stocks are subject to these rules were made public, but currently the factors FINRA uses to make this call are determined on a case-by-case basis.
Investing Strategies
Investors might be tempted to trade around, or “capture,” special dividends to take advantage of the high yields. However, the stock exchanges set complicated dividend dates in order to prevent traders from trying to take advantage of the dividend system. And as with all dividend payouts, the stock price will be negatively adjusted on the ex-dividend date to reflect the upcoming payout. Special dividends are strictly to reward long-term shareholders.

Why All These Dates?
Ex-dividend dates are used to make sure dividend checks go to the right people. In today's market, settlement of stocks is a T+3 process, which means that when you buy a stock, it takes three days from the transaction date (T) for the change to be entered into the company's record books.

As mentioned, if you are not in the company's record books on the date of record, you won't receive the dividend payment. To ensure that you are in the record books, you need to buy the stock at least three business days before the date of record, which also happens to be the day before the ex-dividend date.

As you can see by the diagram above, if you buy on the ex-dividend date (Tuesday), which is only two business days before the date of record, you will not receive the dividend because your name will not appear in the company's record books until Friday. If you want to buy the stock and receive the dividend, you need to buy it on Monday. (When the stock is trading with the dividend the term cum dividend is used). But, if you want to sell the stock and still receive the dividend, you need to sell on or after Tuesday the 6th.

*Note: Different rules apply if the dividend is 25% or greater of the value of the security. In this case, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) indicates that the ex-date is the first business day following the payable date. For further details on dividend issues, look at FINRA's website.

According to the company:

The record date is 7/18/2016 so I believe today is the last date to buy. The payable date is 7/29/2016 and the ex-date is 8/1/2016. So I believe you need to buy today to be on record and hold through 8/1/2016 to get the dividend. The shares should not be adjusted until 8/1/2016 if then. I'm not sure and checking if there is a down adjustment since it is a special dividend.

I am hoping for nice up day tomorrow. That is the last day investors can get in, and still get the divy. Monday the price will be adjusted down for the dividend. I still like it a lot, and I believe the price will rebound after the adjustment. Won't happen over night, but it will come back IMO. Do your own DD.
