RE:5 cent / share dividend
You raise a fair point about them not having to do it and I agree it's all pie in the sky until we get not just the first cheque but recurring payment for the rest of what's owed (and they continue to want to buy back shares). The company needs to bring it all home and at this point it sounds like it will. I dont think dividends are off the table in the future but there is quite a difference between the company buying back shares in which the company expects to retain the value of the cash they spend vs. a dividend where the money leaves the company. We aren't in safe enough a place for that yet even with the cash coming in)
