Do you agree with the following question:

Alright, in and around everything else I've had to do (along with taking some time off here and there), I've gotten around to dealing with GFI.

We have 574 Gold in the coffers, along with about 3000 USD that can be exchanged for cash. This works out to around 694 Gold that's just sitting around. In addition to this, I've got job offers up and products that were simply sitting in storage are up for sale.

The after tax value of these products comes to approx. 247 Gold for a total of 941 Gold.

If I were to pay this out in a dividend, it would be worth nearly 1.18 Gold per share. For me, this would equate to 50 gold, which is pretty tempting.

However, we have a problem. We have 5 Q1 weapons companies which are not profitable at any current wage or local market value. Q3 Weapons are similarly troublesome, however Q5 weapons are sill greatly profitable.

In my absence, all of our Q5 weapons were sold off with the exception of one.

With the value of our current funds plus the sales of our idle products, we could afford to upgrade 2 Q1 weapons companies to Q5 and still have 200 left over for dividends. Or, we could just do one or we could pay it all out.

Congress will also need to be consulted about this, so I ask Devoid to withhold his votes so I can bring the issue before them. I am only asking for the private shareholder input, so I am able to represent their interests before Congress and this issue can be dealt with.

The question today is: Do the private shareholders wish to upgrade a company or companies or do they wish for the full dividend to be paid? I will put forward another poll, depending on the result of this one, of we wish to upgrade one or two companies, should that be the shareholder preference.

To clarify, no action will be taken on this vote alone. I am simply gauging opinion and attempting to develop a strategy that best suits all parties.

Vote 'Yes' if you would like to consider upgrading companies.
Vote 'No' if you would prefer a dividend.
