interesting arcticle....what it fails to mention....is that argent had to nearly double its production.....and consequently the market has said whoopee and gives it a premium......it now trades at just over the issue price of 10 bucks.......................and it managed to do that not because of the dividend but because of increased revenue/profits and cashflow............and the probability that it will be able to sustain its payout of 8%sooooooooooooo.....what.....

well crius said the right things....

we hired a human whose only job is to maintain the maximum spread

we have a bunch of independent contract people whose job is to sell our product and as a consequence we now have more customers this time than the last time we talked to you

we may do aquisitions in order to grow the revenue base and as a consequence be able to maintain the dividend.....in the meantime folks be happy if you got in at 10 bucks you are still making 10%....and those of you that got in at 7 bucks you are making 14% and if you folks can wait we think we can give a capital gain as well

soooooooooo......as time progresses...if they do not pull off a deus ex machina like argent then we will have to be happy with the dividend......and pray to the dividend gods not to close the loophole in the canadian tax regime and that the u az

of a does not get greedy and put a surcharge on the exported dollars....yes i know who gives a rats behind.....
