RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:...someone is excited on Twitter XYour method is a conservative measure albeit fairly unconventional. The question I try to answer is my return on investment. If ygr has $30million 30 cents per share, to give to shareholders at the end of the year and my purchase price for the share was $1, it means they could pay me a 30 cent dividend which clearly is a 30% rate of return.
