Frequently Asked Questions
 
 
What type of companies pay dividends?
Normally companies with stable and/or growing earnings pay dividends. Dividends can’t lie. They are paid or they are not. Dividend payers normally carry less risk. If the share price of a stock goes down, the dividend yield goes up attracting more buyers (known as dividend support).

Why is it important to find companies that pay dividends?
Historically, dividends account for more than 40% of the overall market. Why would anyone want to miss out on 40% of the market’s return?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How is the dividend yield calculated?
By dividing the total annual dividends paid per share by the current price per share. For example: If ABC company paid an annual dividend of $2.00 per share and the price was $40.00 per share, then the annual dividend yield would be 5%.

What type of companies pay out dividends?
Many types of companies in various industries pay out dividends but, as Jim Cramer says in his book JIM CRAMER’S MAD MONEY WATCH TV, GET RICH, “Consistent growers pay out dividends. I love dividends. What could be better than having a company hand you money for doing nothing other than owning the stock?” James J. Cramer with Cliff Mason. Jim Cramer’s Mad Money Watch TV, Get Rich. Simon & Schuster, 2006. pg 15.

Why is it important to understand a company’s dividend history?
As Fidelity’s former Magellan Fund manager Peter Lynch said, “The dividend is such an important factor in the success of many stocks that you could hardly go wrong by making an entire portfolio of companies that have raised their dividends for 10 or 20 years in a row.” Companies that consistently increase their dividends are sending a signal to investors that their cash flow is not stagnating and that they are optimistic about their future prospects.

Why was ca.dividendinvestor.com™ created?
The best explanation comes from the book All About Dividend Investing by Don Schreiber JR. and Gary E. Stroik in which they say. “There are software programs available for the individual investor, but many are geared to helping with technical analysis and/or day trading. As dividend investing becomes more popular, however, it would not be surprising to find new products being introduced that provide automated access to the kinds of ratios and fundamental stock information you need. Attractive features would include the daily download of updated information into your computer and tools to screen and rank the stocks in your universe by the criteria you specify. We haven’t found any programs priced for the individual user that fit this description, but they may be out there--or on the way.”
Don Schreiber JR. and Gary E. Stroik. All About Dividend Investing. McGraw-Hill, 2005. pg101.
