RE:RE:DividendSure - but the cash flow streams from a commodities business are quite different than this.......one of the big issues I have with oil and gas companies is the asset based loans they take from banks which are reviewable every 6 months - as soon as the bank changes their price deck for the underlying commodities the borrowing base changes and the Company can suddenly be faced with repaying debt at the worst possible time - like a big margin account. I wouldn't view any dividend from an oil and gas producer as a sure thing.
