Thanks to Excel I no longer have a math problem however my lifelong math logic challenge remains.
Here's my question: I have a stock that, over several years has paid me a total of about $11,000 in dividends.
The stock price itself has me underwater by $5000. So if I were to sell it would it be a loss or would I be ahead by $6,000? It is inside my IRA so there are no tax considerations.
I "think" I'm ahead but as always, I'm never quite sure but I am very happy to have this loser keep paying me.
