RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Thanks for the ANswer.. so much for investor relationsMoose - Okay, if you're not just trolling here and your comments are truly what you believe, then quite honestly you have no business investing in equities.
The IR department will clarify the information publicly available in the companies' corporate releases and will give investors only that information which is publicly available. If you really need the company (or anyone else for that matter) to inform you that as economics dictate, the company may make changes and adapt, then you really shouldn't be investing your own money.
MEG Energy had a multibillion dollar CAPEX announced last year. If you phoned their IR dept this past October and asked them about their 2015 CAPEX, and then bought stock, would you then be irate that they didn't tell you a massive CAPEX reduction was coming? It's no different here. Surge cut the dividend in response to the market. They wouldn't disclose that prior to it being released publicly. Honestly, Moose, if you rely on a conversation with IR as the basis for making your investment decisions without doing your own financial DD and without using basic common sense as it relates to falling commodity prices, you honestly should not be investing here.
