Share Buybacks Vs. Dividends: Which Is More Beneficial? [View article]
Hi rnsmth, Thanks for your comment. It is very true that some companies do both. As I mentioned above, a combination of both done in moderation is always the best IMO.
Also, thanks for the link you attached in the comment below. I'll take a read!

Hi Drvofatl, Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you enjoy my articles! For the number of years of dividend growth, I copy it in from David Fish's CCC List (found here http://bit.ly/rABTPA) and paste it into the finviz.com screener (there is a column, Tickers, copy them from the excel spreadsheet and paste it there). After this, enter the metrics that you want and that's it, you're done!

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the comment. You got a point there about the distortion of the chart (A stock is classified as a dividend-paying stock if the company indicates that it is going to be paying a dividend within the year. A stock is classified as a non-payer if the stock's indicated annual dividend is zero. ), but my main point there is that dividend stocks outperform over the long term, with more compounding. In fact (according to many studies, ie.http://bit.ly/10aDg1E) , over the past 80 years, 90% of returns were from dividends. That was the point I wanted to make. I'm sorry if I gave any misleading information that you didn't agree with. Thanks for bringing this up to me!

Hi disallusioned, Thanks for your comment. I am not sure why there is a disparity in the information. I got it from an external source and it could be due to some business failures in between, as Bruce stated in a comment above.

Hi Bruce, Thanks for reading. Its true that the chart had nothing to do with buybacks, it was just to illustrate the benefit of dividends. Thanks for also giving me some food for thought, it is actually true when you talk about (DTV) and its fabulous performance since it cut down half its float. I guess dividends are simply more tangible to everyone.

Hi joe, Thanks for reading. Yep, haven't seen you on the site for a long time, glad you're back. I wouldn't buy a company solely on its buybacks, that's true, but they aren't that bad, are they? Anyway, great seeing you back!

Hi Maillot, Thanks for the comment. A combination of both is always the best. Investors like us definitely have no complaints, especially if it is as attractive as PM's.
