Ignore the noise peopleLike they always say, ignore the noise...
The fear mongering about cutting the dividend is non-sense at the company just raised the dividend a few weeks ago...
This is just noise to shake the tree and get rid of the weak hands and steal your shares.
Those shares are real cash machines when held over a long period of time. Reinvest your dividend for a very powerful compounding effect.
