- latch 15y agoBased on the performance of their stock, there's only 1 thing an unhappy Apple investor can be: stupid.
- ceejayoz 15y agoI'm a shareholder, and I'm pretty thrilled. I've got a few shares from the $40s, and a bunch from the $70s. I'll take success over dividends any day.
- shawnee_ 15y agoWhy? The only way you'll get that return is if you sell your stock today. That destroys any chance for you to earn future value from the performance of the company. Dividends are the better way companies return value to their shareholders, not encouraging them to engage in "flipping" which is not sustainable for long-term value. http://money.cnn.com/2011/09/15/technology/thebuzz/index.htm http://money.cnn.com/2011/09/15/technology/thebuzz/index.htm

- generators 15y agoso you could own a big fat palace in middle of time square, what do you do with it ? its not money, till its converted to money, and when you do, you no longer own it.
- kemiller 15y agoNot necessarily. Paying dividends forces everyone to "sell" whether they want to or not, and the only way to stay on the ride is to accept the taxes you have to pay and then buy back in. When the company reinvests (and/or buys back stock), your money grows tax-free. A split would be nice, though.
