" I have always assumed that they pay a (usually trivial) dividend in the hope of broadening the investor base to include the dividend suckers, in a hope that it will pump the share price."
Can you name the last five large buys by Buffett that didn't include, sucker dividend payers?
You don't know that there are funds and private investors globally that cannot or will not buy non div paying stocks?
Does oxy pay a div? msft, aapl, meta,etc?
Suckers? Oh my.
