RE:Anyone calling for Ath to pay a div This is what I learnt recently owning some Gear Energy. Buyback is 100% better than regular base dividend for short and medium term as far as share price is concerned. Every dividend paying stock is way behind Athabascaif you take into consideration the last 52 weeks. I suggest that it is so much better to introduce a special dividend, very similar to what Tourmaline does. Give some cash back to the shareholders but only if there is an excess of cash on hand.
Paying regular base dividend usually gives you nobenefits for your share price other than receiving some additional and at times insignificant amount of cash.
