RE:RE:RE:Now some of you are happy with mid 40s or 50 cents..You've really been trying to hammer this dividend concept into everyone's heads, but regardless of the intentions behind your concept it is simply not a good idea for this type of company. Small-Midcap E&P companies have high risk factors, and very high CAPEX and CAPEX fluctuations as well as cash flow fluctuations due to production levels. At any given time, these companies can be effected by shut-ins, dry holes, security concerns, oil/gas transportation and storage issues, and flow-rate declines. A dividend only reduces their cash which increases their risk and most likely increases their debt. In my opinion debt is never a good thing, because all it does is decrease your cash flow long term. The best way to increase the value of an E&P company is through organic growth, smart acquisitions, and reducing your share count to more realistic levels; bringing the price up to a point where institutional investors no longer consider it a penny stock. Moving out of the Vulture exchange wouldn't hurt either.
