What you are talking about is stock price appreciation, which is not "growth". "Growth" is stuff like selling more products and increasing revenue. Stock price appreciation can occur for a number of reasons, of which "growth" is but one. Higher dividends may lead to stock price appreciation due to increased demand of that stock, and solely because of that reason. > > >Why? And what is "short term" is 3 years too short? Yes. If 3 years is "long term", then what's 25 years? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:207930 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
