Accummilating debt to pay the divy.........allways thought you had to actually have retained earnings to pay a div, And no, selling future heding should not be allowed as retained ernings. It should be considered funds from discontinued operations or as a one time capital gain. not as funds from continuing operations. This comes across as dubiuos accounting at best.
Subtract the selling of future heding from the funds from operation and see what happens to the EPS for the last couple of years.
