CoastersRZ Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Especially since their ratio was the highest (by a marked amount too), among the five listed in the leisure industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Butcher Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 And yet Q wants them to pay a dividend BEFORE paying down debt.... Love the capitalist system, and I support nearly anyone trying to make a buck for them and their own, but some people don't seem to get it.

The Interpreter Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Perhaps Mr. Raynor is well aware of the needs of many of the income investors who had sunk much, or in some cases all, of their retirement savings into FUN units and needed the distribution to survive and/or live at least comfortably. Also, currently, debt can be financed at record low interest rates...for now...IF the borrower has good credit...which Raynor has... Terp, just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terp, just sayin' One would assume then that an increased dividend would be the goal to be reached after a refinancing, not before, just to be safe. I still think he is putting the cart before the horse so to speak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Picard Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 They say you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. They also say not to fall in love with a stock. I would bet by the time it's to be refinanced the record low interest rates will be long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 It almost certainly wouldn't have been refinanced this last time round absent pressure from Q. And before that, had Mr. Kinzel had his way, Apollo would have walked off with the whole shebang (minus a cougar's helping for the Kinzel family, of course) for a mere $11.50 a unit...
