Ann: Dividend/Distribution - NCM, page-7

Of course you can check out SFR at 3.479% div and 25%+ accretion in the last few months...

But there is a trade off... Mining being a capital intensive business will always need capital to expand. Worst part, it is a cyclical business. It is a matter of "when", so the board really needs to hold on to those earnings for a rainy when there is carnage in the industry. As this is the best time to expand and pick up distressed assets. That is the game of this part of the market you choose to play in.

So beware as the trade off in getting div in mining is that you are potentially capping off growth down the line...

If you want Div please go to Financials and less cyclical stocks it's better for your hairline than pulling it every time you see low div in this sector.
