RE: Oversold management should have halted the stock and announced a financing of $100 million at $8.50. Than they could have continued to pay the dividend at 7 cents for another 3-4 months, than only reduced it by a penny. A year later, reduce it by another penny. they would have had a nice cushion of cash which I think they need and the stock would not have been cut in half in three days. So many REITS do this....they raise money every 6 months and par tof it goes to subsidize the payout
