No

How does one amass over 200 posts here and not know the answer to this.
Seriously?

 

I could see... one day I'm running for political office, and this post will come to haunt me... " you want this guy in office and he doesn't even know that all stocks don't pay quartly dividends "

 

actually only a minority of stocks pay dividends at all. the rest keep it all as retained earnings and call it stockholder equity

Not all companies pay dividends, but the ones that do pay stable dividends, tend to outperform the market..

 

I hear ya. The scene:

I was 19. There was a bar. A pool game. A fight. A call to police. I said I gotta leave now. I might be a Senator, one day. I didn't want this to come back and haunt me. Next day, return to bar, everyone calls me "The Senator".
