What's rude about pointing out that a reply has nothing to do with what I wrote? I'm not sure why you are sensitive and defensive about another person's opinion and information (mine) but I'll leave that to you to thrash that out.

I have no axe to grind nor do I have any issues with dividends. In fact, I'm agnostic about them. I just stated that dividends do not produce Total Return and that seems to trouble you and others here.

If you look at post #30370, I mentioned AT&T which as of the date of posting had dropped $5.61 per share while receiving $2.01 per share in dividends for a net loss of $3.60 per share (or $3.66 per share if you reinvested the dividends). And that's before taxation, if non sheltered Are you suggesting that under such circumstances, one is achieving income and can live off of that dividend stream?
