The question is not whether they can afford to acquire land while giving a big payout.......Looking at their cashflow, they can comfortably do it....
the question is whether lee wants to do it.....
and to do a big acquisition at this point of time.....it is really backside itchy......so I believe they would be very careful esp with EC now since they were quite interested in that segment a year ago(esp so after Waterwoods)
just to add......

More if more units of Waterwoods are sold). This will bring down net debt to equity to 0.6. They have another $100m trade receivables from The Laurels to be collected within a year.....This will bring cash to around $290m with short term debt of $120m. Long term debt is link to TOP of their Robin and Waterwoods so I doubt they will try to pare it down. As more units of Waterwoods are sold and construction progress and with coming launch of Robin, there should be more cash inflow......
If management tries to maintain a net debt to equity of 1.1 then right now they simply have too much cash than they need.....
