"Would it be that tedius to have it done with say 6 different dividends based on shareholders of record over 6 month blocks period dating back to the past 3 years to make it streamlined.

Otherwise those who bought 6 months ago would would profit the most while having lost the least. That really doesnt make sense or seem fair."

First of all, life isn't fair. Your suggestion would only make sense if the oldest shares cost the most, and the share price evenly declined to the lowest point in history of VERB. I would gamble to say that isn't the case with all stocks. SP goes up, and it goes down. If a person was to invest in a stock with regular quarterly dividends at the beginning of a quarter and another person bought the same stock the day before the ex-div date, most likely they would have paid a different price for the same stock. Which one should get the higher dividend? I can tell you for a fact that they would both get the same amount of dividend per share. The lower the cost of shares, the higher the percent yield the dividend will be, but the dollar amount paid per share is the same for both people. Does that seem fair? It is a widely accepted practice in the stock market.
