Stocks That Pay Dividends Knowledge Base
Do foreign pink sheet traded stocks pay dividends? I am thinking about buying a stock that is normally traded in Thailand. I do not have access to the Thai exchange but I have found out that I can buy the stock on the pink sheet exchange here in the US (ticker symbol AVIFY.PK) The stock pays about a 7% dividend in Thailand. The question is, will I also get the 7% dividend if I buy the corresponding stock on the pink sheet exchange? Thanks in advance. Paul
How do I find stocks that pay exceptionally high dividends? I'm looking for stocks that pay a dividend in excess of 15% (I've had them as high as 24%, so I know they exist). Of course, I want this dividend to be paid from profit, instead of the business taking out a loan for it. I am NOT INTERESTED in buying a stock with the intention of selling it. My interest is income. I want to buy the stock, and be able to retire on the dividends... with enough shares, that is. Got any ideas?
Is it true that US stocks pay very low dividends? If so what is the ultimate point in buying them? Thanks Alexwass.., (and everyone else!) but if it doesn't pay dividends and people are only buying it to sell it higher to someone else later, ....isn't that what happened with the tulip bulbs in Amsterdam three hundred years ago???
I own a few stocks that pay dividends, however, I own them through Scottrade.......Do I still get dividends? Do I still receive dividends when they are paid out even though I own my stocks through Scottrade? Does it just come in money form or does the amount of shares I own automatically increase? If I am being restricted from receiving dividends then why am I using Scottrade and how do I purchase stocks and receive the dividends on those well paying stocks? Are there options that are as cheap as Scottrade ($7 a transactions)? If you can answer any of the questions then please help. Thank you.
Question about stocks that pay out dividends? When you buy a stock that pays out dividends, do always they pay out a constant % rate depending on your investment? Or does it also depend on profits? Meaning, your dividend is determined on the amount of profit the company makes and the amount of your investment? So if the company posts losses, then you get no dividend? And if the value of the stock decreases, does that mean your dividend payout will, as well? Is it possible that the dividends could cut your losses from the stock dropping value?
Why would one buy stock in a company that doesn't pay dividends? Isn't that part of the fundamentals of stocks? I understand the basics of stock investing, what stocks are, and that the changing values of a company are conceived by buyers and sellers. What I do not understand is how, when thinking about the fundamentals of being payed for one's investment, the idea of stocks without dividends makes sense when, in this case, the investor is solely taking part in a gambling game with the stock (and ownership) in question. To me, dividend-paying stocks are only partially at the hands of this betting game among potential buyers from the seller's point of view. Therefore, how can the claim that a non-dividend-paying stock's value be proven and justified when no direct connection to the company actually has to exist?
How do they figure dividends on stock that pay dividends? I have several stocks that pay dividends, how is that figured? Is there a web site that keeps up with this for you? For instance Dell: Div & Yield: 0.56 (2.90%) It says .56 how do you translate this to 2.9%? Do they pay this 2.9% yearly or monthly or quarterly, how to they get the amount to figure it because the stock fluctuates ?
What does it mean when a stock pays dividends? I understand that certain stocks pay dividends to share holders. I believe it's also on set dates. I'm just wondering how that works. Do they send you a check? Does it matter how many shares you hold? How can I find out which stocks do this? Thanks to everyone reading this. I know that's a lot of questions. :-)
Do corporations pay dividends for stock holders who are day traders? I do day trading and was wondering if I happened to buy a stock that pays dividend that day do I get the dividend? Do I have to hold my shares at least for one quarter? What time period does one have to keep their stocks and through what means do you have to buy them? Does one need certificates, a certain amount of shares? I use Trade King which is like E-Trade, Ameritrade, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.
Should I buy corporate bonds, or individual stocks that pay dividends? I have bought? exclusively corporate bonds of companies rated BBB or higher because they are stable and predictable sources of income. I get between 6% and 8% yield. Some people have told me that I can do better over time with dividend-paying stocks, especially "if the company has a history or raising its dividend". But, I'm skeptical, especially since you can lose money with stocks, and they are so volatile in general. At least I know upfront what I'm getting with corporate bonds, and the only real risk I face is if the company goes bankrupt. FYI- I have 20K in Goldman-Sachs; 30K in Pactiv Corporation; 12K in Selective Insurance Group, and 10K in Con-Way
How much tax do I pay on dividends? I have an entire portfolio full of dividend paying stocks. I am using Sharebuilder and I think they will provide me with a 1099 DIV at year's end. I assume this will have the total amount of dividends earned.What percentage will I have to pay on this? Is there a min amount that needs to be collected before they are taxable? Just curious. Thank you.
Is stocks that pay dividend to preferred stockholder more than what it earns still worth buying? Let say you come across a stocks that is growing about 25% in net sales for the last 3 years. Earning an average of 8 millions in the past 3 years. But you notice that for it's recent quarter ending in Dec 2007, it pays out nearly 12x more than it's quarterly income. Do you still consider this stock worth buying? I have no financial or investment background. This is what I personally think : "Since a preferred stocks give the right to stockholders to receive dividend, then this company stated above will need to dig their pocket to pay those stockholders annually. But if you look at their past 3 years earning history, there is no way for you to hope to get a piece of this earning, because what they pay to preferred stockholder is beyond their net income. At the end, a negative amount of cash is available to common stockholders". Will this stocks still worth buying? Thanks and have a nice day ;) Cheers
Dividend stocks... what, how, and where does it pay? I have a dividend visa card that pays 0.25% on purchases. How do stocks that pay dividends differ from this? Let's say one stock yields 5%. Do I only get 5% on share purchases? On daily price gains? Is it like compounded interest? What's the deal?
Do stock funds pay dividends? I am a novice to investing. I already have some money invested in a hybrid mutual fund, and I'm interested in making an investment that will generate some income. I'm aware that bonds and REITs offer dividends, but I also found out that individual stocks often pay dividends as well. If that's the case, do stock funds also pay dividends? It would seem so, but I haven't found any specific information on this. If anyone would help me out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Companies that pay cash distributions or dividends? Can you recommend any site(s) that would allow users to search for stocks that pay large dividends or that engage in periodic cash distributions? Popular stock screeners on yahoo or MSN give a small list of about 20 or so stocks only, and I don't feel such lists are comprehensive.
As a Canadian, which stocks' dividends can be used to receive the enhanced dividend tax credit? I know that to be eligible for the enhanced dividend tax credit, the company must be Canadian. My concern is that for stocks like Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) or Advantage Energy Income Fund (AAV), it seems to me that these stocks only pay dividends on the NYSE. The TSE versions of these stocks do not show as dividend-paying stocks. So, my main question is if I own NYSE:BNS, am I eligible for the enhanced dividend tax credit even though the stock is on the New York exchange? Hopefully my question is not too confusing!!
Why do 1099s show dividends evenly split between "ordinary" & "qualified"? I am puzzled as to why my 1099s show stocks paying dividends split evenly between those that are deemed "ordinary" and "qualified." I've owned these stocks for years. I'm disappointed that all dividends on stocks held longer than 12 months aren't deemed "qualified," thereby taxed at the lower rate. Can anyone shed light on this?
How does dividends in a stock work? How do they pay you dividends? Currently I'm holding two stocks that pays out dividends. Expedia and Verizon. Do they mail you a check or do you have the option to reinvest in their stocks with the dividends? Also can anyone recommend some more good dividend paying stocks? Thanks
What is the benefit of cash dividends paid by companies? When dividends are paid, it reduces the value of shareholders' stake in the company. It's a little like "robbing Peter to pay Paul." Also, shareholders have to pay tax on the dividends in the year they are paid, whereas for non-dividend-paying stock, shareholders can defer taxes until they sell the stock at an appreciated price, which could be years later. I understand that some companies may not need the cash for research and development, or acquisitions, so they choose to pay it out to the shareholders. But it makes me wonder, would I be better off buying the stocks of non-dividend-paying companies instead?
dividends and stocks? I would like to know if stocks paying the highest dividends go down in price by the same amount paid thru the dividends? For example, if a stock trade for $100.00 and pays a dividend of $3.00, would the price decrease by $3.00 to reflect that dividend just being paid? Thank you Philippe

Why are stocks worth anything? If a stock doesn't ever offer dividends, why does it have value? I mean, lets say I was investing in a company and that company is represented by an apple pie. I buy enough stocks to own one piece of pie. But I won't ever get to eat that piece, that company won't ever send me a few of its crumbs, that piece of pie will continue to get bigger and bigger but I will never be able to eat it or do anything with it? I can understand a stock having value in the following instances - company merger and they have to buy your stocks up, stocks pay dividends, someone is buying up stocks to have enough to have a voting share, but other then that, why are they actually worth anything?
401k plan does not pay stock dividends on index funds? I have a 401k at my company, and I have 3 stock index funds in which I participate. Over the last year, I have NOT received a single dividend or capital gain on any fund. I have never seen this happen before, I always received dividends on index funds I have bought in the past. I called the 401k department and they were of no help. They told me the dividends are reinvested back into the fund itself to bring the cost of the fund down.....I do not think that sounds right though...nor do I think its right considering the same fund cost is exactly what yahoo finance says the fund cost is. If anyone could shed some light on this I would really appreciate it Let me add some more details. The fund is something called a comingled fund. It does not really have its own prospectus per say, but it does hold 100% of Vangaurds Total Stock Index. When I look at my statement online, there has not been a single transaction in the last 6 months...when I last worked there. However, I would would still expect to get dividends reinvested but I got nothing. I have the same amount of shares as when I left. I know for a fact the Vangaurd fund paid dividends this part year...so you see my point? I called the 401k department and they told the dividends get revinvested into the fund itself and I do not see anything. They said this is a "special" arrangement and no dividends are paid to the owners. Personally, I think someone is skimming the dividends, I just have no idea how I would ever find that out.
How Do You Make Money Off Of Stocks That Don't Pay Dividends? I am confused about how people make money off of stocks that do not pay any dividends. This is the way I think of it. Buying a stock is really buying a part of a company. So let's say there are 100 stocks of a company that makes 1 million a year in profit. Now let's suppose I purchase 10 out of the 100 available stocks, which is 10% of the company. Okay so from that initial investment, you would suppose that I would be entitled to 10% of the profit - seeing as how I own 10% of the company. Of course some of the profit has to be reinvested into growth. But... What I don't understand is how anyone makes money off of companies that don't pay out any money. Its like I own 10% of a company that never gives me a return on investment and the only way to profit is to sell it to some poor shmuck who will buy it for a higher price. How do I make money off of buying stock in a company that never gives me a return on my investment except through selling it to some other poor sucker?

How can I reduce the tax I have to pay for the dividends I received in 2006 from stocks?Catch up on IRA? Instead of re-investing the dividends in the stock I have, I requested and got them to pay me the dividends to supplement my income. I took early retirement and worked part-time in 2006. I did not put any money into IRA for 2006. In my parttime job, I had put ~$4K into a 401K account. My total AGI for 2006 is ~$67K. My preliminary tax return showed that I have to pay taxes for the dividends that I did not pay taxes in 2006. I have to pay a penalty also. In order for me to reduce taxes, can I still put money into IRA for 2006? What is the maximum amount for 55 year old and above? Are there other things I can do to reduce the taxes and hence the penalty I have to pay Uncle Sam?
Why buy stocks that don't pay dividends? I don't see any intrinsic worth. Capital gains? If the company is doing really well and the company doesn't pay dividends, why do people buy up the stock and bid up the price? For example, Apple Inc.'s stock has gone from $7 to $110 in the past few years, but they haven't paid any dividends since 1995. Again, why does the stock continue to rise? On the HOPE that they might distribute dividends one day? Again, I'm asking for the intrinsic worth of the stock itself. Why is ANYONE buying the stock if it pays no dividends? So what if the company is doing well? If the company is not going to distribute any of its wealth to shareholders, its pointless to own a piece, no? As a owner of the company, why am I not entitled to a small percentage of their profits? I guess that's the issue here. I understand that stockholders have claims on the company's assets. But, common stockholders get paid last in the event of bankruptcy so the claim on assets isn't much anyway.
How do stock dividends work? I recently opened an etrade account because I wanted to earn a larger return on my savings. After reading a bunch of investing guides I still don't completely understand dividends. When choosing a stock or mutual fund how do I find out how often and how much I should expect to receive in dividends? Do all stock pay dividends to their investors?
