A
(potentially) larger problem than dividends is "spin offs". This is
where a company spins off a part of itself. Shareholders end
up with shares in the original company that have been substantially reduced in
price plus shares in the new company.

Question
I've seen discussion about dividends on this board from time
to time. Never took much notice, because dividends seemed so insignificant.
Today one of my systems threw up IOM, and I learned different.
On 10/2/2003 IOM paid a dividend of $5. <FONT

for this dividend or ignoring it.
Obviously, differences of this magnitude have an extreme
effect on many TA systems.
Which chart is 'correct'?
