I have never gotten a dividend. I thought they were usually only pennies per share and were actually just a small cash enticement to own a given companies shares and provide just a little liquid income without necessitating the sale of any long term shareholdings. Do they really play into a stocks valuation that heavily? Epinephrine, there are investors who consider dividends important.....I just don't know any. Dividends are part of the Blue Chip package.....big safe non volatile stocks that pay a dividend at the end of the year. BTW I think those dividends can add up to a couple dollars per share per year. Not bad if you own 8 K shares. ted
