Good Valu

2 weeks ago when VALU re-appeared on my mechanical portfolio, I put in a buy order on that Monday. But I was a bit greedy (slightly lower price) and the order was not filled (it is a very low volume stock). Then I "discovered" NEWN and bought them instead. Will I never learn? VALU announced a special one time $3 dividend (Value Line declares special dividend of $3) the other day, and they stock is up sharply. Over 19% already.... sigh.
