That's an wakeful lot to ask for.....but it would ensure longs hold onto their shares and keep the PPS up. I was thinking the ratio to be flipped. Who are we kidding though? They won't be giving anything out.

Just the opposite actually. A dollar on the balance sheet that is going to pay a dividend is worth a dollar in share price. A dollar on the balance sheet in anticipation of a future event given the use of that dollar is worth a multiple of that dollar...be that 2X or 5X or some other multiple.

I could even say a dollar on the balance sheet to be used for dividend might be worth less than a dollar given the tax implications of a dividend.

At some point the discussion may be relevant but for now any such prospective distribution is so far off in the future that discussing it is a distraction.
