What do you think a dividend is?


Youre asking me? 

 

ok, a dividend is a reward to investors for buying the stock.  It is the thing that gives stock value.  However, it is assumed that a company that is growing and prosperous will post a dividend in the future, and also assumed that if it is growing by a good pace, then it can avoid declaring a dividend and still get a good increase in its stock price.  Thats a lot of facts to keep in mind, concurrently, and I haven't contradicted myself.  I have a finance degree and know what I'm talking about. 

a reward?  never heard it called that before.

its a distribution of profit to entitled shareholders.

 



 ok great, so we're arguing over semantics now. 

Useless post.

you are using the word reward to suit your argument.  Im surprised you didnt call it a bribe.

I literally had to laugh out loud!



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

http://www.dailyfinance.com/2013/01/15/2-more-reasons-to-dump-microsoft/

The financial writer lists MANY REASONS why investing in Microsoft would be a poor idea.  Therefore he isn't flaming. 

Listed reasons:

-PC sales are slowing around 5-6% for the holidays year over year, when they should be growing bc of the brand new OS

-MS Surface sales are listed as bad, when MS is trying to move into mobile 

Since this is vgchartz....what are your recomendations for Nintendo or Sony?

Its amazing how your picking on the richest company of the big 3, shows you must hold the other 2 in much lower regards.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I hold Sony in lower regards, certainly, bc it is a trash stock.

Nintendo is fine but how big can they ever really grow? I dont see them swallowing up the other two's business anytime soon.

All I needed to know. This whole time I thought you had some massive Sony bias. Nm then, carry on.

Google.

he is a mahoosive Google fan.  havent you seen his chrome os is awesome, chromebooks are awesome threads?

Unfortunatelty chrome os isnt awesome and chromebooks aren't either.

95% of his post history is devoted to slagging off MS and praising google.  literally.


And that is the reason he is mad all day:

And you are a massive Microsoft Fan who is praising everything they do even if it is a fact the particualar thing maybe isn't that great.
Where is the difference?I mean how can someone talk something like Kinect(in terms of gaming and what they promised aka fluent gaming for games on the quality of an Uncharted or your beloved Halo 4.I don't see something like that or is Fable Journey the thing they promised?) or The Surface good?Those are failures like the Vita,30k $ TVs etc are for Sony or at the moment the WiiU is for Nintendo and so on.

95% of your post history is about praising Microsoft and how superior YOU THINK they are to everyone else.
The Surface will never even touch the iPad in slightly - And it even won't come close to Android devices.It's a failure especially after the stuff they promised and the hype it were surrounded in.

Strange I thought Microsoft could buy out Sony and Nintendo if they really wanted to. I guess that shows how weak MS is when you could buy out the competition anytime you wanted.
