>>2012 remarks - management of all the companies above reap huge compensation on the expense of the shareholder as the shareholders ROI is in most cases negative if adjusted to inflation.

This has been my beef w the market:

Volatility
Management looking out for itself, primarily
Short term thinking (see above)
Valuations based on "growth" or perception of same rather than pay out

Keeping it simple, if a co does not pay dividends, substantial ones with very likely prospects for more over time, what good is it, other than to its highly compensated managers?

This is a solid argument, but over simplified, as does not take into account market psychology & gee whizz bang technology: Ie Apple... Which I still do not own...

But it does explain Nestlé, which if cheap enough rel to dividend, would be a buy.

Still betting on currency depreciation, which seems to tally w history, tho history has by definition a longer life expectancy then moi <g!>.
