What Are Stock Dividends?
April 30th, 2009
If you are new to the whole buying and selling stocks concept then there are some things you might want to pay attention to. The normal way that you profit from investing in stock market or options is that you buy them and sit on them until their price increases at which point you can sell and be better off. Some preferred stocks offer something that’s called a dividend and it’s normally paid at the end of the year. This is a way that companies give their shareholders a piece of the action if they have a good year and its nice because it doesn’t affect the share price one way or the other.
