Obviously you think companies share volume traded somehow makes them money? Telvue hasn't made a dime on the stock since the initial offering, so your entire paragraph is pointless. My point is the only person getting dividends right now is Mr Lenfest, in both his companies, so he is making money, and the common shareholder?? nothing. So as long as dividends get paid to him, and he owns all that stock, it is pure profit for him. Only when he sells his shares will there be a net gain or loss, but the dividends he's getting paid is no small change. Expect no other dividends for 25 years, then you can compare to ETCC (40 years later)
