RE:RE:RE:RE:Market Pricing in Dividend Cut to CPG...?silkroad, actually I can think of a number of things that cost less today than they did in 2004.....TVs, computers, airplane flights, music.....the question is, what will the price of oil be going forward and, much like the items I mentioned, technology can be a difference-maker (i.e., continuously improving fracking techniques, fuel efficiencies, etc.). Now, obviously CPG can also take advantage of advances in fracking, for example. The concern I have with CPG is that they keep issuing equity and/or debt to grow their asset base while paying a generous dividend....a strategy that I believe is unsustainable unless oil prices increase significantly in the next year or two....again, I'm not going to pretend I know exactly what that price will be, but it has to be significantly higher than the price needed for more conservatively-run companies that don't pay the kind of dividend CPG does on their 452,000,000+ outstanding shares while simultaneously spending CapX to try and grow production, earnings, and cash flow to pay these dividends.
