It has to be a dividend policy in order to succeed. You have to tell the shareholders exactly what to expect, and it has to be quarterly. Any company that has to lower or even abandon their dividend will fail, and the stock will crash.
Sort of what SIAF was planning to do if only they had the money. Or how XIN is doing it.
PME's 1c dividend was nothing more than a dangling carrot. Same as what Solomon did in 2012 etc. Therefore it failed. You are wrecking the growth story as well this way, if there is any to begin with.
SIAF is doing the right thing with the spin-offs. If only they could spin off 50%. But they can't. Not in this environment.
They have to work out their differences with ECAB. Get a loan from Garret or the Asian bank and get this growth story going. Cash dividends are for later. Short sellers are very reluctant to touch a fast growing company. Just a feeling I have. So let's get this show on the road.
