In this crummy economy, I’m happy to get anything.
Its a small token of gratitude to those of us that are in it for the long term

At today’s price 173 shares provides enough dividend to buy another share. For the long term, that can add up every quarter!
Would that it be a LARGE token of gratitude 3 or 4X the current amount but I’m not looking a gift horse in the mouth.
I only have 83 shares but the equivalent of a couple of hundred dollars will pay for a good night out.
This is what it says int the Apple Press Info:
“The dividend is payable on February 14, 2013, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 11, 2013.”
There is nothing about the 6th or the 7th of February.
I love Apple, but 43 years for the dividend to have paid for itself is a long time. Good thing you can usually get your profit when you sell the stock.
I wouldn’t be complaining if you have shares from 43 years ago.
Ah, that’s 1970.
It’s the one thing I can happily look forward to from Apple. At least Wall Street can’t take that away from shareholders. However, it barely puts a dent in Apple’s recent 38% fall from the sky.

I can only commiserate with AAPL shareholders, as my sister and I stayed with petroleum stocks and bask in a well-appointed banana boat while the tech frenzy continues. The drama is palpable, the pathos excruciating, the denouement nail-biting.
