RE:RE:RE:dividend and next wednesdayHere's my take.
The dividend has been bleeding cash and financed by borrowing. There is new management who are not beholden to the past. ENCANA's future profits that will not support the dividend for at least 6 months or more. If they want to bite the bullet and cut the dividend now, it would make sense unless the Q3 and Q4 profits exceed expectations by a wide margin. If I was in the position to decide, I would cut it in half to $0.10 per quarter until my financial house was in order.
