Waste of paper though in some ways - won't change investor behaviour one bit. The dividend strategies seem to be extremely popular. Another reason why they are likely to underperform.<br /><br />----- Michael James September 30, 2017 at 10:07 AM<br /><br /> @BHCh: One report won't change the world, but I'm optimistic that it will change a few minds. It can be tough going up against dividend blogs so fervent they deny that paying dividends makes stock prices drop.<br /><br />----- BHCh September 30, 2017 at 10:59 AM<br /><br /> Yes, math be damned. MoneySense, etc... also promote "dividend stocks". Because recent performance of Canadian "dividend" stocks is bound to ensure success going forward.<br /><br /> And I buy that dividends used to be an indication of value but not now when we have much better criteria and the payouts are so easy to manipulate.
