Not 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.

  You can sell just part of your holdings when you have 100 * $1.

    Even at $450/share it seems a little silly to sell them one at a time.
