The question which people should asking is will the positives of offering a dividend out weigh the negatives ?
I agree with your points, my boy. I don't want dividends from any of my investments if the payment of such dividend results in a negative for the particular company. If I want some cash to pay for the groceries then I can just sell a few shares. Simple!
