  • Why Dividend Paying Stocks Are a Mistake [View article]
    It turns out that this article was accurate for the last 12 months, when DVY has horribly underperformed the S&P 500.

    Airlelon, you said: "But you reached a conclusion after this based on an assumption. That assumption follows as such: That there is no guarantee that it will be paid, and that the taxes on said dividends make them pointless." However, I didn't focus my argument on the risk that dividends won't be paid, as opposed to pointing out that (a) well run companies with growth ahead of them should be better able to re-invest the capital in their business rather than pay it out as dividends, and (b) dividend payments are not efficient from a tax perspective.
