Taking a bit of a left turn here.....As you all know by now I'm sure. Suncor just raised its dividend. I made a comment not long ago here that when the taxing buy-back news came out. I said, companies should now just increase dividends to shareholders and avoid buy-backs. Of course, that might now be an option 100% of the time but and I'm sure there's a lot more involved in these decisions but...I'm just saying. Petyo, also increased their divy and is now gone to a monthly pay-out!!
Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if companies do choose that direction instead of buying back shares if they will be getting taxed on that move. I'm no expert on that but, what do you all think?
