I mean… I hate capitalism as much as the next guy, but this isnt “money from nothing”… People bought or worked for shares…
The dividend money comes from worker exploitation, sure. But in order to get the dividend from those shares, you had to believe in the company and invest…

CLEARLY I’ve had an impact on you. You are all butthurt about me calling out your first earther Communist equivalent lol.
$700 million. A year. For one person.
That’s another of the biggest reasons our system is so out of balance.
It’s not money for nothing. It’s money for the risk you take when investing in a company. Why the hell would anyone invest into anything if there wasn’t possibility to get something out of it?

It is basically gambling yeah. Especially when you’re picking individual stocks instead of something like index funds. Bigger risk but also bigger plausible reward.
And you don’t understand why building a society based on gambling is a bad idea?
I don’t even know what you’re trying to say there. The discussion is about the risks and benefits of buying and selling stocks. If you don’t want to take that risk then don’t buy stocks. No one is forcing you. I don’t get how “building a society based on gambling” is all of a sudden a stance I’m supposedly defending here now. That’s a strawman.
So can we tax that?

Dividends are taxed, yes.

Couldn’t this also signal to investors that they’ve achieved a comfortable market position and finally profitable ,and that they don’t need to go growth crazy mode anymore?
For anyone curious, the dividend is
0.0063$0.50 per single share (the other number was last year)Compared to Microsoft, which is 75c per share, and stock is cheaper.
87b vs 123b operating revenue. And that’s with a metric ton of money pumped directly into vr. FB can be run by cutting that labor in half. MS, not so much.
$0.50/share/quarter according to this article. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/01/meta-is-paying-first-ever-dividend-authorizes-50-billion-buyback.html
If my math is right, At Meta’s current stock price of $472 that makes an annual yield of 0.004%. It’s great news for old investors, but that will be a hard pass from me.
You’re right, I accidentally checked last year dividend
What do you mean diluted?!?!

Why should we feed starving children when there are dying babies!
