An entity which is invulnerable to market deterioration and solely decides to handicap itself on its own will for the the greater good so the speak...will always attract the majority of investors. Much like everybody wants to be the manager of the best boxer who is also a showman and decides to go down for the good of the boxing business. People who know, do understand that he is the fundamental part of the equation, not the various prop opponents which are matched against him and that manage to win a fixed match from time to time. > Sure, I get to use the publicly owned land and airports, but to call that a dividend or equity is ridiculous Quality of life is obviously a dividend, at the end of the day money is meant to be spent to get quality of life.
