RE:DividendsI think you should be reviewing today's reality, many so called E & P's are paying dividends.
And they have growth, it is the new business model. And an excellent method for attracting
new investors that otherwise would not be interested, at least in my opinion. As well, brings
some additional responsibility and discipline? to cash flow utilization. Your method of thinking,
sounds dated to me, ask around there are many paying dividends, and it doesnt have to be
a significant amount.
