WOW!

I've been beating the drum on avoiding it due to crashing oil prices and its high debt load. I hope there aren't any significant shareholders around here. I was expecting a 50% cut at worst, which would still be a decent yield, I never expected a complete suspension.

Sorry for those who held.

Dividend cuts are never a good sign. I noticed some DGIs buying up a month ago and it surprised me - even though the fundamentals didnt make sense. I think the yield had climbed past 10% after the fall.
