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.
