dividend or share buyback

[bobby1231]

I have been reading about poe.v paying a dividend and the stock goes down but those people should look at cen.v that did a hugh share buy back and the stock is lower the all the buy backs. I'm almost certain if market conditions were better they would both be doing good.

I expect announcent tomorrow and we will see if it appears. It could be a very nice nice one timer (fingers crossed)

I don't think a one time dividend or a share buy back is all that effective for raising the sp. The 75 cent return on capital for poe really just decreases the value of the stock by that much the day it is paid but you do get the money in your pocket and keep your exposure to the exploration up side. So a special divi can certaily be good for the long term shareholder.

The only difference between a "special" dividend and a regular one is of perception. Does it matter if they pay out 10 cents at one time or 2.5 cents per quarter? Not really. what matters is perception a regular dividend implies a more stable company perhaps. But the first step is to deliver any kind of dividend, to show investors they will get money out of the company and to prove that

The perception is illustrated by the word "yield".  Stock screeners will not pickup a special dividend as a yield for people that are chasing yield. If we go 5c a quarter that's a 20% yield.  It will not stay at 20% it is to tempting in a 1.5% 10 years treasury world. This puppy is percolating but it's only IMHO of course. Cheers
