re: irishbroker..with a temper Happy New Year to you too Pal.
I give you a personal opinion on a subject followed by my explanation to back it up and you subsequently chose to launch into a bout of verbal abuse.
I am not a broker, but a simpleton who understands increasing cashflows and profits normally point to dividends being paid back to shareholders. Hence the divvy call was an "approximate".
Admittedly there is a problem in trying to forecast a dividend after a company has temporarily suspended its dividend. But 2002/03 was, in the company's own words, a difficult year. HWE is now clearly a turnaround situation and that applies to both its earnings AND dividends.
Anyway, since when did H.C. open its doors only to people with cold hard facts about the future? Why don't you stick an objection in each time somebody posts a prediction that a stock will double or triple ....
Cheer up mate ..........and ring up your broker if you need the PRECISE dividend on a company before its announced to the market.....and when you get it, how about you do us all a favour and post...just for the record!
I don't own the stock just yet, but will do so in the very near future, perhaps even by the close of trade today.
