RE:RE:nat gas inventories out..as expected BIG withdrawlsNever buy a commodity stock for the dividend. Ever. Hope that lesson was learned. It will not "support" the stock when the commodity is down. It will not make any material difference to your total return when the commodity is running up. Ever. And it doesn't matter what the commodity is. Now, on the other hand, buybacks work. Eventually. So at the very least, the cut in the divy and the drop in the stock price should mean more shares being bought back. Who knows? Maybe yours. My ATH gem was buying back stock after paying off all the debt for years, and now it seems invincible. No dividend.
