RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Anyone get their calls returned from Investor Relations?What you said doesn't work in practice. Take Hudson Bay for ex. Hit $6.11. Baker had 57% and minority holders wouldn't accept $9.45 to take it private. Divy's less than half a percent and it's bleeding serious cash. Easier for LKS to have HSE cancel as many shares as he can through an NCIB and then buy the balance.

They have stressed returns via dividends. Now, if oil prices stay where they are or go lower you can bet they will cut the div or take it away altogether like they did in 2015. If there was ever a time for LKS to take this puppy private it is now. He could buy the shares he does not already own at current prices for less then the projected free cash flow next year!! I imagine that minority shareholders would not take $5 for their shares right now but if they go to $2 after the "independant" Board slashes the div to zero later this year it might be a different story. LKS did not become one of the richest man in the world by playing nice.
