Men don't get excited seeing my portfolio either, which is fine, and I don't look good in lingerie but I can understand a company paying dividends. That would be a mature company which declines opportunities, or has no reasonable opportunities, for rapid growth. Coca-Cola comes to mind. That's a pretty safe stock. But a divided yield of just $2.97% according to Nasdaq. And then I notice a 24% increase in share value over the last year. This suggests their dividend payments are canary poop from the perspective of their stock holders. Who would have been better off if the company had instead invested that money in operations. Then I noticed from their income statement that profits are about 25% of revenues. That's mighty good.
I own stock in a company whose stock price almost doubled in the last year, and I consider this company to be financially quite conservative and safe.
