SIAF - actually it's about whether or not investors go along with the company calling it one thing when it's actually the other. SIAF is indeed a diluted mess that would be trading at .10 if it weren't for the lemmings in Sweden .....

"This is about investor sophistication and whether or not people actually understand what they read in filings."

CC - I have no issue with them using shares for financing, but they could have used the dividend cash to pay the debts, right? I am not saying SIAF is a fraud, but the dividend was really not free and clear of the financing no matter how the dots on the balance sheet were connected. The reason a dividend is supposed to boost confidence is that it demonstrates cash flows independent from financing.

Thank you Chad for explaining that to this board

Baffles my mind each and everytime I hear someone state "they issued shares to pay out the divy".

How or Why invest if you don't understand capital markets is the other question that comes to my mind.
