I regard the effort to put two SG choices on National Cinemedia's board as positive news. If SC thought that we would crash and burn, they would just sell their shares. Instead, they're working within the system to make improvements, at least in their own mind.
A bad sign for our stock would be a hostile takeover offer. That would really upset the apple cart.
FWIW, I did receive the dividend, but I'm still waiting for the 10-Q for Q4 and the 2017 10-K.
