RE:RE:RE:RE:Buy back or dividendI personally don't care about short term perception. I do care about financial strenght. The company would be stronger with less debt, shorts can manipulate the stock price but not the balance sheet.

Although I don't disagree with you, cutting the dividend now would give shorties more ammo that this is a 'distressed' Company... What they can't afford a messily $15mil dividend anymore? At this point, they should stay the course. No matter how the spin a stop in the dividend, it will likely be viewed as a sign of weakness (at least in the short run).
