RE: RE: RE: Dividend Question
RE: RE: RE: Dividend Question I believe the 8 cent dividend (which would represent less than 1% of your holdings value with the stock trading at greater than 8$/share) only presents "free money" if:
1) you are able to protect your principle (for example, with options) and
2) you still receive a profit after paying commissions on your stock trade and after paying for whatever type of insurance you choose to purchase on your principle.
I belive people who successfully employ similar strategies to grow their account likely focus on stocks which pay a higher % of share price as their dividend.
