If a company never pays a dividend, as a shareholder, why should I care if it's doing great and has positive media coverage and hype?  What's in it for me?  Is the fact it's reported, and analysed positively, as doing swell, enough for fund managers and retail investors? To put a higher value on its share price, since it's winning the popular vote, without the need to share it's wealth with stockholders? Are we all just clapping our hands louder and louder at how much money they are making?
I read somewhere that companies are not required to pay dividends to shareholders (this is correct, yes?).   If so, then if company A never pays dividends to its shareholders, then what is the point of owning company A's stock? Surely the right to one vote for company A's Board can't be that valuable.   What is it that I'm missing?
What does “pull sb. out of the hat” mean? Is it possible for a system to have negative potential energy? With respect to both gravity and electromagnetism, to the best of my understanding potential energy is added or subtracted from a system based on the distance between two objects such as charged or massive objects.  Would this then imply that when oppositely charged objects or two massive objects are brought together within a small enough radius that the drop in potential energy would be greater than the combined mass of the two objects making the net mass/energy of the system negative? Currently I'm running Linux-3.0 and I want to update it to Linux-3.3.1 the latest stable kernel release as mentioned at . Can I update to 3.3.1 in Ubuntu without any risk of crashes? I'm updating my kernel regularly as provided by the Update Manager..Currently I have Linux-3.0.0.17..Can I update?  NOTE:  The latest kernel version any user is supposed to use in Ubuntu is updated automatically via the Update Manager, so no action is normally required by user regarding kernel upgrades. What the question author is referring to is mainline kernel, see: In Avengers: Endgame,       Thanos was able to stop and catch Mjolnir and Stormbreaker mid-air as both Captain America and Thor used/called them BEFORE he got the Infinity Stones.   Since this character is clearly not worthy and had no super powers at the time, how were they able to wield Thor's Mjolnir and Stormbreaker, when even the Hulk couldn't do it in The Avengers? How can you duplicate weapons in Borderlands 2? I want to get 2 identical Unkempt Harolds for my Gunzerker, and I do not want to Tourge token grind. I have one already, but I want to get another. How would I duplicate with the newest version of PC BL2?

Transit Visa in Hong Kong for 15 hour layover between India and USA? We are (2) Indian nation and travelling from India to USA via Hong Kong airport and about 15 hours layover in Hong Kong airport. Do we need a transit visa even if only changing planes? And can we apply in Hong Kong Airport? Sometimes we read books rather quickly and don't give them much (or any) thought, so the action 'reading' does not necessarily imply that we have given enough thoughts to any book we read.   Is there a word that describes reading a book with great care; usually but necessarily slowly over a long period of time. Raise bounty on question How to prevent mail from our website going into spam mail of users? I work for an educational services company based in India. We've around one million students enrolled as users. We're frequently facing the problem of our bulk mailers regarding upcoming exams, new product launches and promotions going into spam mail folders of the students. Is the problem in the headlines? Or where else? what can we do to reduce this number?   This is killing us, we cannot have an impossibly large precentage of mails not being opened..Please help.

Opening website external links in new window -- published usability tests How to disable javascript modal popup ads For many years I have blocked popup ads with AdBlock Plus.  But it seems more and more these past couple months there is a "new" kind of popup overtaking the web.  They are javascript based "modal" popups which ABP is powerless over.  See attached for an example.  Is there a way to kill these ads without breaking the functionality of anything I need? Minecraft extra folders? Once I click to run minecraft a small window appears saying "Downloading runtime", then three other folders appear onto my desktop: Game, Native Log, and Runtime. This really annoys me, as I have to keep deleting them after I am done with a session of minecraft. Why is this? It never use to happen before. Is the space $\mathbb{N}$ is a baire spaces ? yes/No Is  the  space $\mathbb{N}$  is a  baire  spaces ?  My attempts :   No ,  It  will not form a  baires  spaces ,  let $C_n= \mathbb{N}\setminus\{n\}$. This is open (since $\{n\}$ is closed in $\mathbb{R}$, hence in the induced topology of $\mathbb{N}$) and dense, since every open ball with center in $\mathbb{n}$ intersects ${C_n}$. But  $$\bigcap_{n\in\mathbb{N}} {C}_n = \emptyset$$  So $\mathbb{N}$ is not a baires  spaces because for  Baire Space the intersection of a countable family of open dense sets must be dense.   Is  Its correct or not ?
