This is so great that you should be a stock holder instead of an artist? Or if you saved that dividend, every 70 years, you would have another share of stock. Sell your cameras and buy stock! Now that I see your next post, I'm wrong. Go to college and become an overpaid CEO. Personally I think these people are getting at least $3.5 Million too much. But if he makes more than he's paid, then the corporation will be on his side. Anyone notice how so many of these top people have two year plans. That's all the longer most of them last. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Charles Lewis Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Good news for some I suppose. However, as a dividend stock, it isn't especially interesting. A $70 stock pays $0.84 a year (4 quarterly dividends at $0.21 a quarter). By way of comparison, AT&T shares cost $29 each and pay a dividend of $2.08 a share (4 quarterly dividends of $0.52 a quarter). Shutterstock shares are only a good deal if you think they are going to appreciate past $70. Certainly the analyst consensus is that it is a 'buy' but you are doing it for the capital gain and not the dividend. So, for me, it is keep your camera and buy stock. I'm just not convinced that SSTK is the one to buy. I'll still keep working with Shutterstock but as a contributor and not as a shareholder. Link to post Share on other sites
Former_Poster Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Their Q1 announcement is going to be dynamite. Massive increases for all except suppliers! Personally, i still think the medium term plan is bump up the portfolio ready for a sale. Link to post Share on other sites

You do it by hoarding cash, reducing debt and increasing market share amongst other things. Link to post Share on other sites
Former_Poster Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Which might also be with the vast extra cashflow they'll have after this first quarter (which will decrease as the year goes on). Link to post Share on other sites

It creates the image of a stable and caring company. Especially when it's time to drain it. Link to post Share on other sites
