Dividend and distribution cuts (2017)
FWF'ers do an amazing job tracking down and reporting on dividend and distribution cuts. Thanks.
Please use this topic for announced 2017 cuts. Your fellow FWF'ers would appreciate if you could post a link to the announcement. Hopefully this topic won't need to be used much in 2017.

Home Capital suspends dividend. Surprise.
it has drawn down $1.4-billion of its $2-billion credit line and has suspended its dividend as deposits sink further.

Newell had blowout numbers and it's stock is up 12% today. It increased it's dividend by 24%. My patience was wearing thin on this. This news was timely.

Aimia Provides Update on Dividends (or lack of dividends) to Shareholders:
Aimia Provides Update on Dividends (or lack of dividends) to Shareholders:
As communicated on June 14, 2017, the Company is prohibited from paying dividends declared on May 10, 2017, and originally scheduled to have been paid on June 30, 2017, as well as declaring any further dividends on any of the outstanding Common Shares or Preferred Shares, based on Aimia's determination that the capital impairment test set forth in paragraph 42(b) of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA") would not be satisfied.
Recognizing the need to preserve the Company's financial flexibility, liquidity and capital resources in the coming years, the Board has further determined that the Company will not declare dividends on its Common Shares for the foreseeable future, irrespective of the capital impairment test.
With respect to the Company's Preferred Shares, dividends continue to accrue in accordance with their terms even if they are not declared.
There can be no assurance that the Company will, at some future point in time, be in a position to pay the dividends previously declared and declare and/or pay any future dividends.

That was expected given GE's cash drain this year. They are in a world of hurt given terrible decisions made in recent years.

But when is it time to buy?!? When's Warren Buffett coming in for a second rodeo?
They've been through this in 2008-2009 because of over-exposure to finance. Oddly enough, the share of Synchrony that GE shareholders could have exchanged for was a very wise choice when it was available.
Re: Dividend and distribution cuts (2017)
I don't know much (very little?) about GE's specifics, but I'd want to see 2-4 quarters of improved cash flow, improved balance sheet and the sale of some business lines before dipping a toe in the water. Turnaround stories often take a few years before they show momentum.

A couple of months before it takes effect but Boardwalk holders that care about the distribution can assume the position!

Beginning in 2018, the Trust’s distribution policy is consistent with the Trust’s long-term focus of NAV growth and will comprise of
an annual distribution, paid monthly, at least equal to the taxable portion of the Trust’s income.
This formal policy will allow the Trust to retain a significant portion of cashflow to re-invest in capital growth opportunities.

Re: Dividend and distribution cuts (2017)
Thanks for the heads up on this. I'm out as of a few minutes ago. Time will tell, but based on a few other past cuts, getting out and letting the market fully digest seems prudent. Now more cap gains to try to mitigate and more cash to redeploy
