I would rather have an investment in a company without debt than one that pays out $4 in dividends and then goes $2,500,000 in debt to build another store. -- Paul A.

| New Tax Law induces increased dividend payout http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories...638&ran=174267 The above article reports increased dividend pay outs induced by the new tax law. Perhaps this will increase the market capitalization for a bird in the hand. I think this is a long run positive impact of this law. -- Frederick E.
