I will try to rewrite this article from different perspectives and styles:

As a small retail investor, I am always full of expectations about company dividends. After all, investing hard is just to share a piece of the pie, right? But every time I hear the term "stock dividends", I get a bit confused. What exactly is that? How does it differ from cash dividends? For small investors like me, which one is more cost-effective?

To be honest, at first I really couldn't understand the thought processes of these company bosses. They clearly have money, yet instead of distributing cash directly, they insist on creating such flashy things. Later, I slowly figured it out; these old foxes each have their own little schemes.

Giving cash is simple and straightforward, but it may not be very cost-effective for the company. After all, cash flow is the lifeblood of a business; if it is distributed too extravagantly, what will happen if the company runs into liquidity issues? Issuing stocks, on the other hand, can make shareholders happy without having to spend real money, making it a great way to achieve two goals with one action.

However, speaking of this, is this seemingly cheap approach really worthwhile for us small shareholders? To be honest, I have my doubts about it. After all, the additional issuance of shares will dilute the value of each share, which is equivalent to indirectly taking money from our pockets. Moreover, this approach may also lead to a drop in stock prices, which is simply a double whammy.

So the question arises, how should we respond to this situation? To be honest, I don't have any clever tricks. However, my advice is to never be dazzled by these flashy things. Whether it is cash or stocks, what matters is whether the actual value of the company has increased. If it's just a number game, it would be better to put the money elsewhere.

Overall, this stock dividend is like a beautifully wrapped gift box, but we have to carefully consider what is inside. As small investors, we should pay more attention to the long-term development of the company rather than these short-term tricks. After all, real money is the most tangible, isn't it?
