The futureShould they do a share buy back or start the dividends. If they do the buy back they can get back to the original numbers before the dilution thus increasing the eps and bringing up the price while buying and cancelling the shares. It is cheap for the company at this price verses paying double if they brought the dividend back. lastly with the smaller number of shares the more money they would be able to pay per share when they do bring the dividend back. I think it is the right thing to do but I'm sure everybody wants that dividend right now.
