With the growth this company will have, almost "guaranteed" for the next 10 years, I still think we should take on a lot more debt (whenever possible)

Well, that is a good point. This shouldn't all be resting on the shoulders of Nisse and Dan (and Yap). They should be more occupied with strategy and decision making. So perhaps the company needs to hire one or two finance experts.

When you get above interests rates of say 10% it doesn't make a lot of sense to take on debt to pay for dividends. IMO.

"With the growth this company will have, almost "guaranteed" for the next 10 years"

If history tells us anything , absolutely nothing is guarantied, especially if the man guaranteeing is S and the country of operations are in China... :-)

Risk wise a mere guess would be somewhere in the vicinity of 65% of total failure atleast. :-)

As a matter a fact most responsible moneymanagers wouldn´t risk more than peanuts in a company as risky as siaf if anything at all imo
They may buy a portion as a lottery ticket at best.
