Companies with high dividends (specifically WHX) - just how? I personally prefer stocks and ETFs that pay dividends vs. those that do not. I was just doing some investigating and looking for some new stocks/ETFs to buy and came across WHX. How can a company pay nearly a 40% dividend!? Was this a onetime thing? Am I missing something, because even as a potential investor, that seems like a lot of money to be paying out and not putting back into the business.
