MikeSO2, thanks to you & to all for the advice/assistance/experiences lived, etc, during this "head melting" RI.
One thing I don't really understand & stated by many posters, is the future hope for dividend payments. For every €1 of dividend I am paid, I will be immediately taxed 30 to 40%, depending on my yearly income, etc. I am invested for the long term, ie, 5-10-20 yrs, so taxable dividends for me are a huge potential loss of compound profits & share buy back & debt reduction options, which is so much more favourable to my investment.
I suppose the company's dividend profile will align with its shareholder profile over time. GLA, DONALB.
