Dividend Stocks

Is it time to give dividendstocks a second look?


Dividend Stocks
Analysts agree we’re in a bull market, however, many feel that we’re closer to the end as opposed to beginning. At this stage, growth shares are expensive, but as money has flowed out of safer, blue-chip plays and into a lot more speculative ones, there is a lot of worth to be had out there - especially with dividend stocks.


Dividend Stocks
Right now, banking institutions aren’t giving you much more than a couple of pennies on the dollar to host your money. Money market, Dvds, etc., it doesn’t matter - yields are low. But at the same time, there are stocks around that will pay you 5-6% to hold these people. And in the meantime, you are able to bet the inflation-adjusted value of your dollars will go down, while your stock investments at least have a chance involving going up - and defeating inflation. Add in that 5-6% return and you’re doing quite well.



Which means your next question should be, wherever do I sign up? Not everyone should make dividend investing their particular cornerstone of their trading strategy, but it can be a nice accentuate or even a hedge against riskier has.



In this episode, you will learn:



- The basics: how dividends are paid, what to look out for, basic terminology, etc.



- Results statistics: How to calculate generate, what is meant by payout ratio, what happens to a stock’s results yield when the stock by itself goes up or down in price, and much more.



- How you can manage the dividend transaction date and ex-dividend date with your trading strategy and not find burned.



- What kind of shares pay dividends and exactly what that means. How should you combine this into your broader investment strategy.



We also focus on a certain high-dividend blue-chip stock that’s a steal in its current valuation. We glance at how the stock features lost 18.4% over the past 4 years, but when you adjust things to acquire dividends into account, this investment has actually been an overlooked money-maker!



Dividend-paying futures have outperformed non-dividend paying stocks since the end of the gold standard. Dividend initiators and raisers have fared finest, followed by stocks that have taken care of their dividends. But also stocks that have decreased or even suspended their dividends get outperformed non-dividend paying stocks during this time period. Don’t you imagine it’s time to give dividend futures a second look?



Happy Investing!
