RE:RE:RE:Management Exactly. Shareholders need to realize Suncor in its current incarnation will probably be gone in 40-50 years. If Suncor was owned by a single shareholder, there wouldnt be any question of buybacks of course. In fact, every dollar of profit would probably be taken out of the business and reinvested elsewhere aka dividends. Probably in the order of $300B over 30 years or $200 a share. Besides, do you really want that group of individuals called the Board of Directors to be reinvesting YOUR share of Suncor's cashflow on your behalf? Seriously? Come on, man. Even repaying the debt early is dubious. Its not due so who cares. When its due pay it back. Better yet refinance it. The answer is so obvious. Yet it doesnt happen. Why? Because they have no skin in the game. Force them to invest every dollar they own including their house into Suncor and the BoD would canx the buyback yesterday and pay the highest dividend possible and imaginable, weekly if possible. This is how money is made. A (very) wealthy group takes over a company like this that trades at depressed prices because of an inept BoD with little skin in the game, replaces them, maximizes free cashflow, milks it and reinvests the money elsewhere.
