RE:RE:remember Good point about /share metrics and bonuses. Most execs have direct ties to that.
My thoughs as well is Divys are a direct return to shareholders. Everyone knows the theory of SBBs and /share metrics. My point is show me one proof that SBBs increase the share price.
Divys are direct return to Shareholders and the aberage investor wants a rate of return. Dovys give that. As long as they are sustainable, investors will buy that stock, and therefore a SP increase follows
