I've posted an
article related to the activities of Warren Buffett recently on this blog.
Warren is one of the investors I watch closer. I like to stay informed by with
most of his decisions, I don't agree.
I like the idea of
dividend growth with accent on growth. Growth is more important than yield but
you must find a great balance from both.
Google and Berkshire
are two top picks on the list who don't pay dividends but generated phenomenal
growth in the past. It shows that creating values don't depend on paying
dividends or buying back own shares.
The truth is that
normal investors like me or maybe you too, need a bigger part of shareholder
friendly presents. We don't have the ability to reduce working capital or boost
free cash flows by combining several businesses. That's only possible for big
investors.
