Hi Max. You made a fantastic point in your posting! When itcomes to dividends, history is often a good indicator. If a companyhas never paid dividends in the past, then it would not bereasonable for an investor to have the expectation for dividends inthe current year. While it may be possible, it certainly would notbe probable. On the flip side, if a company has paid a steadydividend every quarter for the past ten years, then it would befairly reasonable to expect some sort of dividend in the future.Class, if a company with a history of paying dividends decided tosuddenly stop paying those dividends and reinvest the monies in thebusiness instead, how do you think stockholders might react?
