Truely amazing to me. Earlier today I googled the 4 cent dividend on PTSC and of course there were several companies declaring 4 cent dividends. But your post and link have the same dates as the PTSC "story" so perhaps it is as you say a computer techno error/mixup.
I wonder if Reuters will have another company issuing a 4 cent dividend tomorrow with the same dates. Sounds like they may have a virus or error code giving every company a 4 cent dividend. If so they had better take care of it. ( or they should pay the dividend to all of us......) LOL
