RE:RE:RE:RE:Realistically how much dividends can CPG pay in 2023?I think the baseline dividend with a variable dividend on top of that would satisfy, at least, some of the investors with your perspective. I also used to want the div to stay small, I preferred buybacks. I don't worry about it now. I'm confident in my position in this company. I think they're conservative enough.

but there again as a percentage of fcf the dividend is variable and hard to plan for. I'd like to see a plan laid out to zero debt and a clear dividend plan that states the price at which the dividend is sustainable. Look at CJ. They said they're paying 5 cents a month and the dividend is sustainable at 55 wti. When their debt gets lower, the dividend will increase. They'll likely get to 7 cents a month sustainable at low 50s wti price.
I'd like to see this kind of clear language from all the oil companies. I find the current dividend to be a bit of a nuisance. I don't own CPG because of the dividend but the dividend they're paying slows the process of getting to zero debt and them being clear with shareholders how much of a dividend they can pay and at what wti price the dividend is secure
