CFO for Canexus
Serge, I have to disagree with you concerning the idea that a CFO has to be a lap dog for a CEO. Having worked for a few national corporations and government run organizations, it has always been expressed by management to do the right thing. If the CFO felt that he was indeed Gary's lapdog, he should have spoken up to the BOD long before this. I still maintain that the present CFO will be out the door soon after the new CEO is installed...
Nawar, I actually do have alot of respect for you. Certainly you are a more astute investor than me. But I personally don't keep a score card of who to believe based solely on how much money they have or have made in the markets. Just because you have made millions in the stockmarket, as I did once also, I place no more weight on your opinions than someone who has posted for the very first time. You have recently stated that Canexus may indeed cut the dividend. I totally agree with that thought, although I believe it will be eliminated for about a year. For anyone thinking about buying into Canexus, now is not the time...

what would be a good entry point for this stock Kherson? Do you think there is room for more downside? If so - how much more?

It really depends on what Canexus' 1st quarter numbers are like. If they eliminate the dividend for a period of time, don't be surprised to see the number 3 in the share price. Kherson

The author does make some good points. But in my mind, the first quarter results will determine the dividend amount to be paid out... Kherson

Kherson, You have been posting negative comments for a long time. I can only assume you have a large short position. What is the extent of your short position? Thanks, Phil

The real question and right now the only question that will affect the next dividend is how long can Canexus continue to carry an all in payout ratio of over 200%? If you believe that Canexus can and is willing to continue to finance a payout ratio above 200%, then yes the dividend is safe. I don't believe that, so hence my dividend cut/elimination theory...

....so your argument is - this ratio - a point in time snapshot of dividend as a percentage of cash flow - for this quarter - will soley determine dividend policy .......no Board discussion of future EBITDA, future capex, debt levels, future liquidity, how the money would be redeployed if cut, etc. Ok...got it. Thank you.
