Lynas's Maiden Dividend

    So, I've been holding this stock since 2011, so I believe that I qualify as a "long-termer". All the way down from my initial purchase of $2 (now $20/share) to $1.50 a share (was 15 cents!). The run-up over the past year or so has been fantastic - I am definitely in the black at this stage. I seem to recall predicting a $6/share (or something close) valuation in a post on here and being laughed at. That's cool, but I believe that LYC has a lot further to run - which brings me to my latest pondering.

    When will LYC post a dividend to us long suffering shareholders? What needs to happen before that momentous day happens?

    I understand that we still have some debt, but I get the feeling that profit will rapidly pay-off this debt. We have a significant amount of accumulated losses ($600+ Million?), but they are spent funds, and can be used by LYC to write-off profits, can it not?

    We are funding a new facility in Kalgoorlie, but that appears to be going great - as do many capital infrastructure projects in WA, we do a great job of this sort of thing, so we can bank on that sucker being sorted soon.

    We're working on around 18 cents a share in current earnings, with a forecast of around 30+ cents in the near future.

    Given that we are in this to make money in a sustainable manner, surely we must be approaching a point where we should be seeing a dividend plan being announced?

    NOTE to US contributors. I am aware that US companies don't appear to pay dividends, with most investors making money from trading. This does NOT interest me. I am in LYC to support a company that is going to help save the planet for my kids (and make money, but through dividends), so I don't care for any commentary that reflects "other" jurisdictions. I welcome your input - of course - but don't try and tell me that "your" system is better, because yours is cr@p!
