Is it better to try to profit more from the compounding effect of receiving dividends more often or strengthen the company you have a stake in by being amiable to the idea of annual dividends.<br/><br/>Personally, I think I would stick with the quarterly dividends.

Not to mention the "dollar-cost-avg" risk of 1x per year vs 4 or 12. For re-investors, the more frequent the dividend, the more impact compounding will have.

Infact I would even prefer to have dividends come in annually as the company can atleast use it as retained earnings for the year and generate better returns on those. Gneerally ROE on the dividend paying companies definitely beat the tresuries in the long run. Also it is much better for the people who do the budgeting for the companies. Infact I am all for even reporting semi annually instead of quarterly. A lot of efoort can be saved by businesses by doing this.
