dividends4me, thanks for posting an intro. I was totally not expecting your situation with all the youngsters popping in lately. Glad you found us!
Yup, pretty much sums up where I'm at now. My only purchase since I joined the cult that didn't pay a dividend before I bought it was GILD. However, at the time, rumors about a dividend were rampant and looking at their cash flow, acquisition history and pending approval of Solvadi led me to believe a dividend wouldn't affect how they did business.
When that light bulb goes on, it sure makes you wonder what you were thinking. It did me, at least.
Anywhoo, thanks for joining in the conversation. Looking forward to your input.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
