- Why Your Toddler Needs Friends Their Own Age

- Dividends: The Investor's Golden Nuggets
By: Matt kaldor | - A company's earnings that are distributed to shareholders, per the board of directors discretion, are known as dividends.

For example, a company's board of directors may declare a 10 cent quarterly dividend to its common shareholders. So for each share owned, 10 cents is paid ...

- Pros And Cons Of Dividends
By: Wesley Watkis | - A dividend is a portion of a company's profit that is paid out to the shareholders, commonly in cash or stock. For investors, dividends present a great way to get periodic payouts on a high-yield investment. However, like all types of investments, there are drawbacks to any plan that routinely pulls out money rather than continues increasing revenue.
Pros of Dividends
Dividends certainly do have a place within the financial world. They provide a way for investors to pla ...

- Safe High Dividend Stocks- A Vanishing Breed?
By: Robert Hauver | - How challenging is it for income investors to find safe dividend stocks in 2009?
The Wall St. Journal recently reported that, in 2009, S&P 500 companies' dividend reductions and suspensions are nearly equal to dividend increases, (60 increases vs. 51 reductions/suspensions).
Compare this to 2007, when there were 129 dividend increases vs. only 2 dividend cuts/suspensions, and you can see why income investors in 2009 face big challenges finding safe dividends, let al ...

By: Robert Hauver | - The 1st quarter of 2009 saw dividend decreases outpacing increases, for the first time since 1955. Income investors are finding it increasingly challenging to find safe high dividend yields.
Free cash flow is an important measurement in assessing the safety of a company's dividend, as is the dividend payout ratio, which usually gives investors a good idea of how much of a cash cushion a company has after paying out dividends. With the exception of MLP's, LP's, and REIT's, beware ...

- The Surging Interest In Dividends"'"especially Among Boomers
By: David Van Knapp | - In 1934, Benjamin Graham and David Dodd wrote in their classic Security Analysis, "The prime purpose of a business corporation is to pay dividends to its owners." Many investors agreed. They considered that the other way an investor can make money from owning stock--via increases in its price--was speculation in comparison to a steady flow of dividends.
But by the 1990's, investors' interest in dividends had pretty much dried up. With market prices rising 20% to 30% or more per ye ...

By: David Van Knapp | - Both dividends and share buybacks are often cited as ways for a company to ''give back some money'' to its shareholders, as if they were functional equivalents. But they are not equivalent at all.
In fact, the only similarity between dividends and share buybacks is that the company uses a portion of its earnings to pay for them. If you are a shareholder, that is really your money, being managed by the corporation.
