Some useful and incisive posts by you on this important element of the WHC acquisition of those BHP (notably the sp very recently or around historical highs for the global miner. Non-holder) jettisoned assets, and related financing. Unusual for any company to openly eschew forthcoming dividends via some tenuous link to pending but incomplete corporate transactions. Perhaps not so for WHC, who has not always prioritised the interests of their retail holders. We can speculate ad infinitum on the dividends(s), but the sole responsibility for dividend policy is the WHC Board, but nonetheless these early signs of equivocation are not encouraging.
