As my stink bid climbs the queue my thinking bgins to predictably question EPW as an investment. It is, but what kind. Neither growth or stability; defensive? chart says no to that. The story quickly hones into EPW's dividend yield.
I see nothing that even hints at the dividend being at risk. Does EPW need a large capital infusion for an upcoming acquisition, perhaps in another market? If it does, that just got more expensive. If not, then prudent budgeting is the course, which they're old hands at.
The shorts are now playing. Their risk is is greater than the long's upside risk. EPW pays a dividend, has very strong management ownership, Trevor Charles St. Baker alone, has with along with 50 years experience a 31.05% interest. His last sale being 23.02.2015.
