Agree with you LL on the mercurial ways of this share. I originally bought into FXPO as they were spending big to get the 65% pellets capacity and my own personal hope for the cash is an aggressive push to grow capacity on their own roadmap further towards the 20mtpa goal, before they do any acquisitions but, hey, we are all varied in our views. I suppose bottom line is does Mr Z want to put any more assets under the FXPO name, or will he pull out divis and from his non Ukraine base in Russia build another empire there? My impression of Ukraine and most old USSR business environments is that its terrifyingly ruthless and involves much posturing. So if Mr Z doesnt invest in FXPO it could be seen as a sign of weakness and needs to demonstrate he is still the man. As such take the divis but expand confidently as he did in the past- Message "I am still here and I expect to be here as long as I like.". All speculation.
If he doubles all the divi's this year in line with the last announced we are looking at a double digit yield at this price so thats not the worst outcome to ponder.
