Buying long term fuel security while prices are cheap sounds good and I can't imagine that the BOD will not be on the case but I doubt postponing the dividend will be necessary to do that with significant revenues/profit already coming through. That is just a gut view rather than a deeply researched one. In terms of the current quite low sp, the announcement of a maiden dividend would be a major and more obvious boost and having trailed the likelihood of such an announcement, postponement would do the opposite. I cannot personally see the Bod wanting to do that. Indeed, I am pretty sure they will want to foster market confidence that they do what they say they will do, and enhance the status of the company by moving into dividend paying territory, albeit at a modest level initially.
