all i am saying is that without the stock actually paying a dividend its all a beauty is in the eye of the beholder kind of thing. a company throwing off cash flow doesnt matter unless someone is willing to pay to own the company. for a fictitious example lets just say i own a farm in zimbabwe which is very hi yielding and the free cash flow is 20% but i cant take any profits out of the country and there may be limitations on who i can sell it to. what is it worth? we like to talk about value investments but weve all been in situations where management or owners have squandered the assets or given it to themselves in the form of distributions, bonuses and salaries.
