    lol “investor pushback” must be the weakest description for what is probably a ton of people really pissed off.

    Frankly, if the company you invested in does not give you dividends, then you are a fucking chump.

      That’s just not true. There are plenty of reasons why fast growing/expanding young companies shouldn’t pay dividends, if they have better opportunities to put capital to work (if you disagree with their assessment you sell the stock).

      And even in mature companies dividends aren’t always good. Just look at Intel and Berkshire. Intel should have cut the dividend way sooner and is now in a worse spot because they didn’t. Berkshire on the other hand is by all accounts a healthy and well run company. If you want to take profits you just sell some stocks and if Berkshire thinks that price is to low they repurchase some of that stock.
