until 2008, when the bottom fell out. At the end of 2008, with DSX leading the way the dry shippers stopped paying dividends - to survive what they anticipated correctly would be years of difficult economic times. My last quarterly dividend in Dec. of 2008 was $.95 per share. My stock values (i.e., my retirement savings) dropped about 80%, and the dividends stopped completely. I sold off and got out of the market completely. It was the right move - the shares continued to drop and never recovered. No dividends paid since 2008.
You might as well keep what little savings you may have in a damned shoebox under your bed.
