Couple warning signs here. One is, they do not report net earnings in their press release. That's because it wouldn't look good, I'm certain. Their payout ratio is too high. $42M EBITDA, but $29M after taxes, yet still $44M in distributions. I don't have an issue with 100% payouts if they are from net earnings, but they're barely making 100% EBITDA, which means they're funding the distributions from debt and hoping they make it up on growth. They can probably sustain it for a while, but I wouldn't be interested based on the latest quarter.

I'm going to cut my losses on this one soon, it is up a little today. The dividends are okay and I'm almost at a point of breaking even with dividends and loss accounted for. When everything else I am buying is up 10-15% this is down 20% meh.

I sold my holding this morning, I've had enough of watching my $$ go down the drain. I should have never bought it in the first place.
