right... so how will you measure the return? I'm going to assume you will have more than msft in your portoflio.

your situation is exactly what i'm trying to ask in this thread.

since you wont be selling, you wont have any capital appreciation, only dividends. is getting 4% return in your portfolio good just on dividends?

so - how will you measure?
