I see a ton of comments saying dividends don’t matter. Dumb question: Isn’t the idea of common stock to partake in company ownership and collect the share of profits from said ownership ? Since when did this concept die down and the sole purpose of stock ownership became to speculate on future valuation in hopes of selling? As the owner of the company- I should want my fellow owners to stay invested right ?
