Plenty of stocks don't pay dividends. The point of owning stock is because you think it is a good financial move, and that includes direction of stock, holding it as an asset, and in some cases dividends. The reason to sell a stock is because you believe the assets you have tied up in the stock would be better elsewhere. If you view stock ownership as gambling, and dislike gambling, then don't own them. Others view them as owning shares in productive companies and a worthwhile asset for that reason.
