Your dividend foregone is better thought of as going to reduce Metcash's debt. Even though cost of debt is generally low at present, it will in the long run be better to pay that off so MTS can pay the 4% [or other amount] to you instead of to the lenders.
Conservatively geared companies do tend to become takeover targets, however. Their new owners [Hedge Funds] often then strip them and sell off the best parts, then gear them up again and float them to the unsuspecting. Tough world out there.
