RE: RE: RE: Canfor reported good earnings as well.

Actually, I agree with you about the dividend - in fact management alluded to it in last quarter's conference call.

I'm expecting WEF to be debt free sometime later this year, provided the fundamentals in this industry hold. Once the debt is off the books, then I think this will clear the way for a small dividend. I'm estimating that this may occur sometime in the next 12 to 18 months (i.e. before end of 2014).

We shall see!
