The reason we are seeing such a price dip is because gen2 chips from AM were skipped which lead to a long gap between new hardware. The reason it was skipped was due to unsatisfactory performance and FC believes gen3 is more promising. Also by skipping gen2, gen3 will arrive sooner.
Yeah, I know that, I follow the thread. But where's all the money from Gen1 ?
Traditionally in the stock market, divs are a function of books and profits.
Here, we cannot see the books and divs ran to the promise of 10% network share, that was silently dropped.
I'm sure as hell there has been a lot of profits.
Why aren't they used to sustain the stock div if it is known that the 10% promise is unattainable and will be dropped?
We're talking about the customers who are funding your own growth.. why wouldn't you take care of them?
Soon competition will flow like crazy. It'd be good to give something back and gain some very valuable loyalty.
