The concept of large dividends brings out a new look to the gold stocks IMO. For example, Lets say Gold has a run up to $1,000 US or beyond and stays in some sort of pattern of say $800 - $1200 for a few years. Given that I loaded up on gold stocks at $270 or so, I had convinced myself that I was going to be out by $800 POG (this is all in theory of course). However, if huge dividends are being paid out, why not continue to hold the stocks even if the capital appreciation is minimal at that point? In fact, you could suck out some huge dividends for a few years and even if the stock starts dropping you will be ahead. Food for thought I guess and hopefully we can use some real examples in the near future.
