Lets talk dividends

What do you think of dividends? Are they worth it?

What dividend stocks do you own?

How much do they pay out?

At what price did you purchase them? What price are they now?

Is Coca Cola a worthwhile investment with their 3.3% quarterly dividend.

i've been in the market a few years now and started off a really conservative investor, and still am, but i'd say no, i make much more profit off trades that do not have a dividend.

a lot of dividend stocks are already mature and aren't going to have much profit growth, so the price of the stock stays stagnant or even drops.

if you are older and just want a stable source of income, with a little bit of growth in the stock price to match inflation, dividend stocks would be perfect, but as a younger guy i'd say you will lose out on a decent amount of money with them as opposed to more growth orriented stocks

What if i want to keep the stock over the long term?

Solid advice here.

>growth oriented stocks

Such as?

depends on how long term you are talking, but as i said you will not make as much as with growth oriented stocks even in the long term

it depends on what you want to do, if you are just looking to make a small return on your money without paying much attention to it rather than keeping it in the bank or something that is mostly what dividend stocks are for.

if you want to make a good return, put your money elsewhere. you will have to monitor non dividend paying stocks a lot closer though and make sure you believe in the future of the company.

Thanks man.

I'm 26 and I'm trying to construct a basic investment portfolio. Iv already maxed out my Roth IRA for the year and iv invested a little money in an index fund that tracks the S&P. I was thinking that investing in dividededs would provide me with a little cash flow that could be reinvested into more stock over time, Basic low maintenance portfolio with some growth oriented stocks down the line when I learn more about the markets.

Bank stocks are paying retardedly high dividends right now. Should get even better after based trump derregulates them more.

Inflation is generally about 2% a year. As long as you stay above that you'll make money. Stocks and bonds will keep you above that curb, they can even go as high as 10% but obviously carry more risk depending on the investment. Someone else can probably explain and advise you better.
