RE:RE:New Press Release - Birchcliff Energy Ltd. Announces Declaration of Quarterly Common Share DividendBIR has outpaced almost every other stock in the sector...was as low as 65 cents 2 years ago showing 1700% returns on that. BIR will pay an 8% div next year, so while its 1% is not attractive right now stock appreciation and new dividend make it well worth the purchase.
