How many companies keep striving at things outside their actual core competency rather than issue dividends? For example, Facebook could have issued dividends rather than purchase Oculus Rift and I'm not sure that the company or the shareholders would have been worse off.

- saas_co_de 9y agoInteresting thought. It might be better for investors if companies like Facebook just did what they are good at instead of trying to "stay ahead of the curve" and eliminate all future competitors. They are always going to fail at that game eventually anyway, so not trying at all might be better for investors.
