Anyways, if there is no relevant income stream for gen 3, we still have gen 4: Remember, it make more sense to just hold your shares and wait for better times.
Sometimes, yes. Other times, a company's value slowly dwindles to nothing over time. Gen 4 is a long way away and there is no guarantee of its success or profitability. I think AM should return to paying out dividends on a consistent, predictable, schedule, even if (hopefully only at first) these dividends would have to be very small. Even paying out a tiny dividend would demonstrate that AM is still working for its shareholders.
