re: 23c -any news on profits-dividends What is the issue with a dividend, Privacy??

Microsoft declared its first dividend in January 2003! Did the lack of dividends stop people investing in the company?? No way!

Companies should not be paying dividends if they can use the money (i.e.reinvest it) for better returns ultimately to the shareholders.

If you are so concerned about dividends, why don't you just stick to the old favourite banking stocks (they have not better use of the money made)!
