I think you might be one of the few long term investors that wouldn't want a dividend paying stock. Considering your talking about a 10 year time frame for CCME why wouldn't you want a dividend? I wouldn't hold any stock for more than a couple of years unless they were paying a dividend or if they continued to show improved growth YOY. In a market crash scenario if a company is paying a steady dividend they will hold up better than one that is not and I personally wouldn't be as bothered with a lower SP in such a case.


For now since the company is still in growth mode I don't really expect a dividend but I still want one, same as almost everyone who invests, and I expect that at some point in the future that they will start paying one, because its in their best interests as well.

One thing is for sure, I definitely won't stick with CCME for 10 years through ups and downs once I reach my sell target. Give me a dividend though, and it might be worth the long term risk.
