RE:RE:RE: Could we see $11 today I really feel we are about to get to the next level here , and this is 12 to 14 Once we are at 12 , the $ 1 dollar swings aren't the same as they were at 6 ! So 14 from 12 is really not out of the question from a new floor of say ? $12. There is a growing consensus out there Whitecap is very close to there debt target of $800 M , and the dividend will be lifted substantially!! I would suggest they stick to there 30 to 40 % increase but they could double it ( doubt it ) I am not a economics wiz , but if the strategy is to gain shareholder Value , buy backs reducing the share count to increase the flowing barrels per share , on the surface is a slower methodical play , one that my "go big or go home "personality type just cringes over ( why I don't run this company) lol , is I hate to say it better for the longs !
One last comment ! Wonder what a 40 % increase in the dividend does for Grant Fagerhiem the CEO , this is the kind of CEO I like he gets his money the same way we do ! Through increased dividends ! Not sure what his share count is now , but just for fun , at 3 M shares he gets 90 k a month , $1.08 M a year and 40% gives him a 432 K increase . Just had this thought ? We all see him buy on the regular , and thos is good , but just realized he might not be on the DRIP , and therefore he is selectively buying shares , what looks better ? What is more beneficial to him ?
That is my squirrel comment of the day , but ahat
got me thinking about that , was the increase in dividend being 432 k in my example , and I thought this is substantial when dripped back ! Using your dividends to selectively buy gets more credit , unless you can't drip , or you have to disclose the re invested divvy ? These details I am ignorant too , would be a great question for him at next Shareholder meeting !
Also one more for Grant to truly cash in , Whitecap will need to be sold , I say this because he isn't the tyoe to unload on the open market . Cashing in with the rest of us , is in my opinion in the cards , and I have mentioned this before. Consolidation is coming !!
