Why do all investment sites (including TMF) show only Diamond Offshore's (DO) "Regular" Dividends, with no note about the "Special" dividends that are consistently paid (for at least 3 years, as far back as I could find info)? 2011's "Specials" were… More

Less competitive mid/deepwater fleet is going to be hit disproportionately hard by the Gulf of Mexico moratorium + its spillover effects in other markets.

Declines in production at oil majors bode well for offshore drilling.

New GOM leases sold by US Govt recently - drilling there to resume soon. DO has strong support between 50-60. I'm positioning for next drilling upcycle.

Why do all investment sites (including TMF) show only Diamond Offshore's (DO) "Regular" Dividends, with no note about the "Special" dividends that are consistently paid (for at least 3 years, as far back as I could find info)? 2011's "Specials" were 4 at $0.75 each. "Regulars" were 4 at $0.125 each. That's a yield of 5.93% based on today's price, not 0.85% !!

But ... BUT, BUT

S&P awards it a humble 3 of 5 stars, with a $77.00 price target (12 mo), up 30% from today. Reuters does give it 8 out of 10, but with an even humbler target of $68.50 (=16.0%).

Obviously I'm losing my butt on DO, but it's in my IRA and I can't use the capital loss. Still, I think DO might surprise the analysts and outperform the S&P during the next 12 months. And it will pay a fairly nice dividend too.
