I believe you would agree with me that a company could exceed expectations while at the same time not growing (by giving out a bigger dividend, or buying up its own shares with its profits).
- tptacek 10y agoI'm not saying that you only make money when the company grows. Obviously, you can make money from a consistent dividend, as well. But that's not really what you're doing when you invest in an S&P index fund, right?
