Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE:CIM): Shares have seen a sharp decline after the company declared a dividend of $0.09 per share, a cut from the dividend of $0.11 in Q1. This marks the second dividend cut in three quarters, and is certainly not helping market sentiment considering Chimera recently fired its auditor and is also behind on its statutory filings. The shares closed at $2.74, down $0.17, or 5.84 percent. They have traded in a 52-week range of $2.38 to $3.62.
