I've got to say that when a company like BHP can make that big a profit and only offer shareholders a 2% dividend , it is quite frankly - POOR. RIO is another one , massive increase in profits and the dividend does not reflect it. I own shares in both. Return on capital over the past 12 months has been approx 12-15%
In comparison Atlas Iron AGO & Fortescue FMG although not paying a dividend have returned me 40% plus on my capital over the past 12 months.
I constantly hear the brokers saying "oh you gotta have BHP & RIO in your portfolios" , but I have to ask "WHY". If I want to make as much money as I can I should be buying shares in companies that have potential for huge capital returns.
At least the banks are giving me 6% fully franked - I think BHP & RIO could learn from them.
Not impressed Jan.
dividend !!!
