dividend amount important

SEN's dividend, as part of the forthcoming announcement, will be an important aspect of the company's future and how they are perceived by the investment community.

A good dividend says they are a real company that will be around for a while and one which has confidence about the security of its earnings on a go-forward basis.

A fringe benefit may be making the company boring to day traders and enable real longer term investors to come on board because brokers like what they see.

Time will tell and at the end of the day, what would I know about it anyway.
