RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: 135% POR When a company is making acquisitions the payout ratio is hard to calculate based on quarterly financial information. It adds layers of complexity to figure out exactly what the current "run rate" of cash flow will be. This is a prudent management team so I am pretty confident that the payout ratio is not 139% like Bakken is stating and you can bet there is no cut to dividends coming anytime soon. I haven't spent the time to calculate the number so I could be wrong but none of the number of analysts that follow the company have what Bakken is stating and I'd put more faith in them than some guy posting on Stockhouse.
Look at the chart. They've sold off like this multiple times over the past three years. It;s just another opportunity for new shareholders to get in and old shareholders to average down.
