RE:RE:RE:RE:Explained …I don't know a2bman. The 8% reduction in interest payments will show up as an increase in net income all other things staying the same but I'm not sure as to how much of an increase in percentage terms. The $2000 increase in shareholders equity is also opaque to me. It'll show up as an increase in retained earnings which will increase dividends if the company pays them out.
They could also be used for capex or debt retirement. They could also be used to buy back shares. They could buy back fec shares and put them in their treasury. That would send a huge signal of confidence. Can they legally buy their own shares right now while drilling?
