Q: Hi 5i
Given that FSZ valued its own company share price at $9.80 ($34.89/3.56), why should investors be paying a premium to buy this stock today ($10.20 after decline)?
With new CEO in place now, what is to say he doesn't decide to cut the dividend that we all seem to be hanging around for these days?
