Gear should adopt Tourmaline approach...Which is paying a small regular dividend and a larger special dividend. It actually works much better than a large regular dividend as was proven to work really well for Tourmaline because it gives a flexibility. I hope they don't increase the regular dividend once they make enough money. The management miscalculated the upcoming pressure on oil from the US and clearly didn't expect 300mln barrels of SPR to be dumped during the year they were paying 1 cent a month. They should have been paying 0.5 cents a month to begin with and 1.5 cents quarterly. That would still accumulate 3 cents a month but some of the quarters that could reduce the special dividend to 0.5 cents a quarter. That way the SP would have been under less stress. Also if buybacks were brought back the price of the stock would have jumped significantly as the volume is non existent. I think we should just be in the waiting mode as Geat SP will definitely improve in the next 6 months unless the oil price to collapse again for another unknown reason.
