RE:RE:RE:Trading below book value
RE:RE:RE:Trading below book valueI listened to King doing a presentation sometime in 2017. He said that the priorities were continued capital deployment and reducing the payout ratio to below 80%; then the dividend can be raised. This was a big factor in my decision to increase my position; if he'd started talking pro-NCIB I'd have sold off (his stated intent, when asked, was there would be no NCIB).
If AD can achieve $100M+ net deployment (new buy-ins less book value of redemptions) in 2018, with no loss of revenue to partner failures, then I think there's a strong chance of a healthy dividend increase in early 2019 (7%+).

AD should buy massively its own shares
Exactly what I have been proposing. It's the only way to stop the slide.
What is your logic behind how it would stop the slide? A buyback wouldn't even come close to absorbing the volume, the market wouldn't care that the company feels the shares are undervalued, and they'd be paying interest on money paid for they buyback with no real return, instead of getting more royalty income. Instead of hit and run complaining, by all means elaborate why a share buyback makes sense considering my points are pretty much undisputable.
