Poll: If PCGS could not afford to subsidize these boards because of their dividend issuance and dec

Longacre

I see that CU has decided to pay shareholders a dividend of 8 cents per share. I am not sure how many shares are outstanding, but it seems like a nice payday for the heavily invested owners. Of course, given today's environment, the shareholders are going to demand more and more cash in their pockets (see Microsoft's current troubles with shareholders because it is holding tens of billions of cash on the balance sheet, rather than paying it out to investors). Hypothetically, if PCGS said that they could either pay the dividend or use the cash to subsidize these free message boards, but they could not do both, how would you feel if they decided to pander to the shareholders and end these boards? Please provide any comments, as well as vote.
