Episode notes

I don't see a strong catalyst. There's a strategy from the CEO, but I don't, you know, you could argue that all those strategies are trying to mention catalyst. And honestly, if I was holding this company, it would definitely be a more short list to sell. So I have it. I'm not intending to sell it. It's fine where it sits. I just don't have high expectations for the dividend grow.
