Back to the old days for CEO's I am starting to believe none of these CEOs can actually follow through with shunning growth and returning free cash flow to shareholders.
Once Tamarack and Baytex started on the growth instead of shareholder priority bandwagon it's making it easier for others to follow and not feel large repercussions.
I realize the acquisition of these lands is beneficial to CPG in the long term - however I would really prefer they didn't do it and instead eliminate debt quickly and raise the dividend to something like 10%. This would rerate the stock significantly higher and reward shareholders as they should be rewarded.
