I wonder if MXT would pay 'something' sooner or wait till they're real comfortable and pay what they think the 'real' dividend would be long term?? I have no clue, we could call the company I suppose?? O.K. just called them and left R. Carmichel a message, hopefully he returns it. I see from the web site that they expect that anything paid out during 2000 will not be taxable [return of capital], but I don't know how much that tells us about what type of payment that might be. I'll post any response I get. DAK

He returned my call very quickly, that was nice... main points: * One thought was for MXT to get debt down to 1x cash flow, the best {among the best?} in the industry by the end of the year. "With prices as they've been we're way ahead of that paying down debt. * Trying to set up credit facilities, been going back and forth... between term facility {5 to 7 yrs} and demand facility. Term fixed, but then if prices plumet again the terms of such {coverage} could become a problem again... other loan floating, leaning that way now. Loan should be resolved in the next month... IMO [not company's] it sounds like this is what they are waiting for to make any distribution announcements. Banks don't like Term as much as demand because the reserve requirement is higher... 15% vs 7%. My take on all this makes me wildly bullish, I'm buying more tomorrow. DAK
