The importance of dividends in determining value in the stock market cannot be overstated. The main reason investors are willing to risk their capital in anything is to get a return on their investment. In the real estate market, that return is rent. In the money market, it is interest. And in the stock market, it is a cash dividend.

Folks who ignore the importance of dividends in making stock market selections are not investors. They are speculators. Speculators hope the price of a stock will go up and reward them with profits. Investors know that stocks that pay dividends go up too. Meanwhile, they are getting a return on their capital. They believe the old adage: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”
