Stocks that pay dividends have 2 things going for them...
#1 the equity pays you to hold its stock
#2 the equity rises over time because of growth on the balance sheet and revenues
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If an investor does not get both there is no point in holding an equity
I have held for 10 months and have lost on share price meanwhile the company pays a monthly divi..
This does not make up for the loss in share price
If the share price does not rise.
WHY HOLD???
