Transcript of Daryl's stupid and illogical analysis of Walmart stock
Daryl: "You brought up Walmart. Let's use it again.
current stock price is $78.79 while the annual dividend is 9.56. If I
multiply 9.56 by 12 months, I come up with $47.80 making it slightly
over valued. What keeps it up from it's potential worth? Speculators.
I owned Walmart Stock for many years and find that the $47.80 is just
about where it should be, not $78.79."
Canyon: <shaking head> "walmart's current annual dividend is $1.88..
Why would anyone multiply the annual dividend by 12 months? <LOL> what
you'd get is the dividend over 12 years."
Daryl: "Dividends are figured by the month or the quarter. In order
to compare a business worth, you use a 1 to 5 year multiplier. I used
4 years. You are in over your head on this one."
Canyon: <CHUCKLE> "Actually, multiplying the annual dividend by twelve
is using twelve years, you pathetic moron. Oh, and to use dividends to
see what a stock is worth, you compare it's earnings per share by the
dividend. It's called the dividend payout ratio. It's really only
valuable for investors looking for dividend income. You obviously
haven't a clue."
Daryl: "Thats even worse. For a 4 year period, the dividend is just
7.52 That means it will take you apprx 41 years to get your investment
back."
Canyon: "Actually, somebody that bought the stock in 2010 can sell it
with about a 50% profit. Oh, BTW, dummy, selling the stock the next
day for what you paid for it will get your investment back if that's
all you want. You really don't understand this at all, do you?"
