i have said in reality up to 30% of my absolute profit is from dividends. So is dividends important or not? And i do not really go for high dividend stocks though i like dividends of course.
WB:-
1) Rule # 1, do not lose money. 2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1. 3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money. Truism of Investments. A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return. NB:- My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.

Me too...
Problem is 30% absolute return is too low. There is always a internal challenge to get better and better %. Difficult to hold back the urge to get a better yield... So, after reading Dr Michael Leong's tips, I create tikam tikam fund A Life not Reflected is a Life not Worth Living.

Dividends are an important part of your returns. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
Some companies are reluctant to give dividends, or give very little dividends. Usual reasons cited are to keep the money for business expansion. It sounds like a Warren Buffet kind of reason, except that the business owner isn't Warren Buffet. Giving of dividends is probably one of the best signs that the money is all there. If a company has lots of cash, stingy with dividends but very generous in paying top management, a low or no-dividend policy may simply mean management wants to keep the money for itself. I experienced a lot of them with S-chips. I was fortunate to dump my S-ship shares for only a small loss.

Maybe I am not clear in my example. AR = Accounts receivable, ie, amount outstanding at end of a financial period. So back to the same example of the company having a monthly sales of $1M. At the end of its financial year, it has $2M of accounts receivable. Using the formula of DSO = AR/Revenue in period X Days in period, ie $2M/$12M X 365 days, its DSO = 60 days. Hope it is clear now.
