What is a dividend?
Updated: Jun 27, 2022
When a company is doing well financially, sometimes they will pay our some of their earnings to their shareholders in what is called a Dividend.
Dividends are awesome! They are a perfect example of putting your money to work. This image is from an email I got from Cash App. For fun, I invested $5 in an S&P500 tracking ETF earlier this year, and now, just for owning it, they paid me a $.02 dividend.
Of course, that may not sound like a lot. But I didn’t have to do anything to get this money, except buy and hold! and with the magic of compounding and reinvesting, this can be a powerful engine for growth over the long term. That’s just my 2 cents :)
