What else are you seriously looking for?
basically, to know ahead of time whether or not profits from this week will be included in next week's dividend.
Based on the information we received last week, we were all expecting to receive a larger dividend, due to the auction and the increased hash rate. It would have been nice ahead of time to know that those profits were not going to be included in the dividend payment this week. I made the mistake of assuming that more profits = larger dividend, based on the information I had received.
Again, this isn't the end of the world, and it certainly isn't cause for me to sell shares, but that kind of information would have been appreciated by shareholders like me.
You are thinking far too short term. AM not paying that dividend does not mean AM is worth less. They still have the money, and even better than that, they are investing it for you. Now rather than having the money in your account, the company is worth a bit more.
The only realistic way to evaluate a company is *not* dividends. Both Amazon and Berkshire pay no dividends, but have among the highest returns of any investment over the last 10 years. The way to evaluate a company is to look at what they are *earning,* not what their shareholders are getting. The companies earnings are all public knowledge.
