look into how many "high value" stocks actually render dividends. dividends are an extremely minor part of these "financial markets"

More than half of the top ten companies by market cap do pay dividends: Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, Broadcom, and Walmart.

Not all do, of course. That's exactly why some of those "high value" stocks are probably in a bubble, and soon to become not so high value.
