Alt, I think you are out of your mind. Thinking they are not financially able to pay a dividend...Granted hedging is volitale...But, I couldn't imagine them ever being exposed to whereby they could lose over $1bil...Well they have about $2bil in cash...If they were to declare a $2. per yr...It wouldn't be but $77mil per qrt...That really ain't nothing when you look at that cash and what they have been earning...What do you think the stk would go to if they were to declare a $2. dividend????
