RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:This really is the pooch of the industry If they drop the divy back to zero we'll have a chance at climbing over $1.50... This is a penny stock, it doesn't need to be paying a divy.
NCIB is far better for shareholders than a high dividend.
When a company pays a huge dividend that money is gone from the company forever, (like having an added monthly debt) (EPS decreases by the divy amount) but when a company buys back and cancels shares the EPS increase, and that increase is present moving forward in every financial statement.
Share price increase from a higher EPS usually, always beats the Divy.
Warren Buffet once mentioned that he preferred a company not pay a Divy.... Having the money stay with the company is better.

At this time, any appreciation in GXE's fortunes are predicated on increasing global demand and an end to SPR releases. In 2024 the TXM will provide for export to the Pacific rim of 800 k/bbl/d which will positively affect both pricing and the WCS discount but that is a year away.
The concern to me right now is how much capex per flowing barrel GXE is spending on increased production and the depletion rate of that production. The fact that the production increase of ~ 600 b/ day disappears in June/23 is not encouraging.
It may be time to examine the business plan with a view to aligning mediocre assets with renewing the RLI for a better long term outcome. That likely involves removing the dividend, acquaisitions of other acretive business arraingements and suffering the resulting fallout to the share price.
The alternative is pumping down the RLI and calling it a day.
