Bernie, I have been following you and Conrad's discussion of dividends and their effect on share price. I didn't know Yahoo reported data did as you posted, so thanks for that useful info. I agree with your statements on dividend effect on share price. I have gotten a little confused in your later posts about cost basis. I was under the impression that Ordinary dividends have no effect on Cost basis as far as income tax goes and I looked and I can't seem to find where Lichello recommends any adjustments for dividends. Of course I could have overlooked it easily in the book.
