Wouldn’t you want the returns represented by your dividends to beat inflation too? Assuming you’re not investing in something for non-monetary gains, if the dividends aren’t beating inflation at least most of the time, why would you stick your money into stocks when you could just by I bonds from the government?
- YouAreMammon 11mo agoWhy wouldn't they? If the company is healthy the dividends paid will reflect macroeconomic inflationary processes. I don't think "you don't want to beat inflation?!?!?!" is a good faith interpretation of what I'm talking about higher up in the thread - which is rampant speculation for the publicly traded companies, and behavior tantamount to rug pulls in the case of private equity.
