[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 593802, member: 927"] Here are two things that I heard fron Kurt Kuehn directy.... If a company reduces its dividend the marketplace sees this as a very bad sign. UPS is careful when increasing dividend because its basically a decision to keep it that high in the future. Here is a quote on that matter from Entrepreneur Magazine: "Cuts in the dividend also should be avoided. Dividend increases should signal confidence in the future; this is especially important in times of earnings weakness, and less important during periods of strong earningsCuts in the dividend also should be avoided. Dividend increases should signal confidence in the future; this is especially important in times of earnings weakness, and less important during periods of strong earnings" This matches what Kurt said and expresses to me that the dividend decision is not to please senior managers. The second thought is what he said about IE and customers. He basically said that he is ashamed of his personal stance when he was in I.E. about not being flexible when it comes to customer demands. I agree (and I think he would too) that denying request that would allow for new revenue because a driver would be needed is wrong. P-Man [/QUOTE]
