Thanks for your positive comment.

I believe dividend paying stocks can serve as a useful heuristic of where to find good stocks.
Good luck investing!

Yeah, and I think this site has some great content. Really not often I find sites with good well thought out articles like the ones you find on this site. Truly a breath of fresh air. And I would not mind being in the wrong with regards to the actual value of stocks coming from the payment of dividends. It only happens to be what I currently believe. But if I am, we should not “wish” this feature away.

Hi!
“….what I feel personally….”

We try to base our analysis not on what we feel, but by logic 🙂
Did you read the other articles we have about dividends?

So, anyone please, just tell me WHY would ANYONE EVER put all their money into the stock market, if it were not for the fact that you actually could get something out of it again, other that just an endless the bigger fools game? We would certainly NOT want everyone to wake up to the realisation that we have all become fools now would we? -And that there were no longer any inherent value in OWNING a stock at all – ALL its value would come from selling it – and you just would not be able to. So instead of being “greedy” and saying ITS BETTER for me – I would say, dividends are actually one of the main reasons for there actually being a value at all, and one better not actually forget it. Don’t forget, that non dividend paying stocks borrow, their credibility and potential future promise of dividends from their dividend paying bretheren. Saying it would be better if the stocks you owned would not pay out dividends if they are able to, seems to me like a funny form of insanity. (the dodos in ice-age comes to mind)
