If they wanted cash, and they knew that paying a dividend would hinder the company's growth, they would simply issue themselves more compensatory shares. That way, you pay the cost instead of the company. But they aren't doing that. b]
=================================
That is the big difference in our views...I am assuming that they can pay a moderate dividend without jeapordizing the company's well-being... If they cannot, I am completely against it. If they can, I think it will help the share price and uplisting (as I believe you have already stated). Also, are you sure that all of the "insiders" are salaried?
Maybe we will get a clear answer from the CC...
All the best!
