If you only knew....
In the S&P 500 25% of companies pay no dividends. For the NASDAQ- only about 50% pay a dividend, the other 50% pay zero.
No sheet Sherlock.
Not all Companies in those indexes pay a dividend.
But you said that it's not a good sign when a stock pays a dividend.
Every S&P 500 ETF pays a dividend.
Every Nasdaq ETF pays a dividend.
Every Dow Jones ETF pays a dividend.
So even according to you, 75 percent of S&P 500 stocks pay a dividend.
And even half of Nasdaq stocks pay a dividend.
So over half of the stocks in the two Gold Standard Indexes pay a dividend
So using your logic people shouldn't invest in the Index Funds because they pay dividends.

I love index funds- but it has nothing to do with dividends. No one can pick individual stocks and win over time. Even Buffet underperformed the S&P 500 for nearly 15 years after 2008. The average investor should stick to index funds for sure.
REITs (who to be a REIT MUST pay our 95%) and utilities (very slow growth heavily regulated) pay the highest % dividends year in and year out. Any growing company needs to keep their money to invest in their business. Put another way, would your rather have Elon Musk invest your money or have him give it back to you?
