True, but you know what has changed or likely will change...?.....getting $50-$70 per barrel for the un-hedged portion of your production instead of $80-$100 per barrel.....entering into new hedge contracts at $50-$70 per barrel instead of $80-$100 per barrel........paying $0.23 per month on far more shares outstanding than was the case 6 to 12 months ago.......things are a lot different now re. the dividend and the likelihood of its sustainability going forward.......
