RE:RE:RE:If you want a dividend …@ ratsnake220 - Pay down debt and buy back shares or pay shareholders a dividend? Comes down to how good management is. It's easier to make money when you have money so in most instances, company mangement can generate a better return with a large capital pool than a small investors can generate with a smaller capital pool. Even if a small investor holds 10,000 shares, the return that a small investor could generate on the dividend from that number of shares is next to nothing. jmho.
