Not only are you an idiot but you have no clue what your talking about. The payout ratio was only 23% as of the third quarter report. They have plenty of hedging in place; in fact they have costless collars on several thousands of barrels; these collars provide firm downside protection in the case of a commodity downturn. But if I was LRE management I would cut the dividend just because the overall market is basically asking for it (whether it is needed or not). I would then promptly announce a share buyback program with those same dividends that were cut.
the only reason to cut div or eliminate it is to pay down debt not to buyback the stock, that doesn't help lre in anyway other than reduce its float - it will sell off on any buyback program initiated.
