When the conditions are right the stock will go up and the dividend yield won't matter.
The problem right now is, the market doesn't know that dilution/dumpage has ended. Only the better informed shareholders know it. So these people have been buying but the broader market still lives in fear. That's probably also the reason why the Angola project didn't have any effect.
We had the same problem with the TRW stock dividend. Instead of telling the growth story, they were dumping stock. So we never had a chance.
We were also hit by tax-selling in the past few weeks.
Now, things should turn around. Pay the 5c dividend. Give us the ODRAS contracts. And hopefully, one of those special events I mentioned earlier.
Well, the TRW stock dividend delay (again!) and death of the CFO didn't help either.
Let's see how fast we can go up.
