dividends are irrelevant for the following reason.

a) a noble prize was awarded to merton miller, who came up with this
maxim

b) if a company will issue dividends, it could just as well keep that
money and invest on its growth and/or expansion, which long term
compensates for the issuance of dividends. reinvesting the dividends
makes this all the more obvious. why reinvest [post-tax] if the
company can do it for you? when companies grow too big they no longer
know how to invest in growth [or do not want to]; when they sense
weakness in the demand for their stock they may also choose to issue
dividends; but this is hogwash long term.
