It was discussed on CNBC a couple of hours ago that companies who receive loans from the stimulus bill will not be allowed to pay ordinary dividends to common stock shareholders until the loan is repaid. They didn't discuss preferred shares dividends.

If you own shares in a company that will likely get a loan from the stimulus, plan accordingly.

Boeing already announced a few days ago that it was suspending its dividend.

I am 100% convinced that Nancy & Chuck are true vampires.

Who do they work for besides Satan?

I will never understand how these sociopaths don't have term limits.

When is the revolution?

Personally, I think it's a good clause

Agree the entire stimulus should be geared towards jobs and stabilizing the economy.

Dividends are supposed to be a share of retained earnings.

If a company has unpaid retained earnings and is taking emergency loans, they probably shouldn't be paying out retained earnings.

It sucks for those who invest for dividends. But I can understand where this is coming from.

Was this a Democrat mandate? People only invest to hope for price appreciation? Well managed companies didn't ask for a pandemic, sounds like some horse shite to me. If someone could make anything on bond interest that's where I would be. A lot of investors will avoid the non-dividend payers.

How is it a good clause? What about old people who live off dividends? Just because you live off dividends, doesn’t mean that you are rich either.

This is one of those “duh” decisions. The companies don’t have cash flow to support basic business operations but yet they would continue a dividend? That would be irresponsible management.
