You don't really have to pay a dividend when you're stock is rising like Apple's is on growth. It's a fairly new thing for MS to pay one too and it's only because the growth ended. Since MSFT started issuing a dividend, Apple's stock has gone up over 1000% the dividend doesn't compare.

Correct, because stocks are a thing in themselves and not something related to the actual or expected value of the company.
