That is a bit of a diversion, as you could have picked a tech stock that went to zero, as well. That said, sibling post disputes if the factoid is even true.

That is a bit of a diversion, as you could have picked a tech stock that went to zero, as well. That said, sibling post disputes if the factoid is even true. So, not clear what the full point is. I am personally sympathetic to the idea that dividends used to be one of the defining differences between profit and non-profits. You have to get into buybacks to fully see the differences today, I think. And that does feel like a very different thing. The argument doesn't get any favors from false factoids, though. :(
