Since iron ore pricing is way down revenue and dividends will be down as well.
Thanks for the insight. I've listened to BNN Bloomberg comparison of LIF to Stelco and the comparison was much in favour of LIF, as they distribute all of the profits to shareholders. I think that the likelihood of a short-term gain from increased iron demand when the economy recovers in 2022 is reasonably probable above 50%. Plus, huge dividend. Plus, low P/E. Plus, a well-run company. I think it's a decent bet.
