RE:Cj debt position

It's nice that you have a preference, but they are like @$$holes, everyone has one and most people don't want to smell yours.
The reason they increased was that they announced a plan a year ago and are sticking to it within reason. That gives the management credibility to the shareholders and which is more important than any of our personal preferences. We can invest with confidence in this name knowing that they are trying to do what they said they will do. It also gives them wiggle room to manoeuvre to do what they feel is best at the time when something comes up.
Realistically, currently they could be paying debt down on the same schedule maybe even faster and pay us 8-9cents/month, but they are trying to keep everyone happy while moving forward with what they feel are their own goals for success in the space.
Some of us don't care if debt is at 0 aslong as it's managed effective and advantageously, others don't care for buybacks, some want dividends, some want to pump more and some want to make acquisitions. They can't make everyone happy so they are giving us all a little something they feel they can do.
If your interests don't align with what they are doing, feel free to sell out and purchase a company that is doing what you value 100%.
