One way to handle that is by holding it in a retirement account to avoid taxes that way.
If you like receiving dividends you can arrange it with any stock. Just sell a small portion of the stock on a regular basis, whatever dividend rate you desire. You will end up even better than actual dividends because it will be taxed only once.
Haha, you’re assuming the stock appreciates in value at regular intervals ? In any event, way back when I was a wee little MBA student,, one of my professors maintained that dividends were a sign of lazy or incompetent management because management should be investing that money back into the company - product development, market expansion, something. His argument was that if management couldn’t find anything that would return more value to the shareholders over the long term than to just give money back to them so they could invest it elsewhere, then management wasn’t doing their job ?
I am assuming no such thing. The price of a stock paying a dividend is adjusted by the amount of the dividend. It's totally equivalent to paying yourself as I described.
This is all probably a decade+ away, but at that point, the survivors may be the ones focused more on commercial vehicles and fleet shuttlepods.----in large metro areas, yes. In far flung rural areas, no way.
Which is exactly what my investments professor would say is the right thing to do all those many years ago, way back in the dark ages (the 20th century ?
Ford paid dividends until the last year financial fiasco. You can expect them start paying dividends as soon as they start making profit again.
