Another mindless opinion piece from an idiot. Dividends are paid to stock holders including individuals 401-k accounts pension funds etc those are real consumers of funds these clowns never understand the speed of money
I read the article, and the author makes some very interesting points. One that caught my eye is that a lot of companies are actually borrowing money in order to inflate the value of their stock and pay dividends. Call it “capitalism” if you want, but that doesn’t sound like a recipe for growth in the long run. That sounds more like a company’s leadership is getting ready to bail out while they can.
I would agree....this wasn’t a very thoughtful article. If you use historical trends/dividend payments....most companies have paid a decent dividend since the 1960s. Some avoid it...I agree. But most companies pay at least one percent on dividends.
