Just because one stock is paying a higher dividend than another stock or a stock that pays no dividends, doesn't mean it's a better investment. The highest dividends are usually stocks in very mature, slow growing industry's, like utilities. They have no good use for the money that can expand the business, so they give it to stockholders. Meanwhile, companies like Apple, Intel, MSFT, Ebay, etc that performed spectacularly didn't pay dividends, at least during their most explosive decades of growth. Would you be better off with a stock that went from $20 to $26, while paying a 5% dividend or a stock that went from $20 to $200 with no dividend? I remember an old lawyer telling me decades ago to never buy a stock that didn't pay a dividend at least as high as the bank. If you followed that advice, you would have missed almost all of the huge winners. |
