Dilution and Dividends

Dilution and DividendsIf it is legal, perhaps one thing the management could do to mitigate dilution is to offer special dividends for those shareholders who have been through more dilutions? For example, for every dilution a shareholder has been through they get one additional dividend over and above regular ones.

If the company ever delivers on its plan for profits then if the share price does not deliver, which is entirely possible in these modern markets with ETFs and currency speculation, then dividends for the shareholders make sense. A company does not have to reinvest ALL of its profits in trying to attract more shareholders by adding or improving assets. It can do otherwise. It can say we are an exclusive club and the profits of that club are for the members only.

Abcourt already has many more assets than Hamelin can claim to develop. In one of his video presentations he outright says Barvue will not get developed as it requires the funding of a major company, more or less, which Abcourt, unfortunately, is not. So, share price improvement through the development of a flagship asset is a long, long way off for Abcourt. Still, it remains that one way to encourage improvement in share price is to make the shares somehow more valuable. Barvue, which is a glorious asset, adds zero to our share price. So, dividends seem to me to be the way to go. Pay people to hold their shares. And pay long term shareholders more for keeping this whole thing going. 

Imagine a situation where all these long term shareholders who have taken the pain for all these years with dilution, and along come some new shareholders at just the right time and make far more money. It doesn't seem like fair play, does it? So, it could be sorted by some kind of dividend policy. The people who are seething over more and more dilution could be placated by a company policy that plans to reward them for their loyalty and sacrifice when the company can afford it. Hamelin in other video presentations has certainly not ruled out a dividend policy. My perspective is he should embrace it, by having one alongside, though subsidiary to, the asset development that keeps the whole thing going.
