Every year, technology improves which is a good thing and we all can benefit from it. If you consider turning on of your computer, similar to many people, the writer has more than one computer – one is newer than the other, although both work; one boots up or is ready to use in less time than the other. The programs on each computer are similar, however the perception of time is different. Another example is a TV which took time to warm up in order to view it. Instant on was added and we all had it, then electricity bills went higher and we all did not want it, but we still like it. The savings in time was in reality minimal, but it seemed good.

Bridging to dividend paying stocks, the advantage of these stocks is the dividend is paid on a consistent and long term basis. The disadvantage of having most of your money in the dividends is sometimes you will read a great story of a stock which has increased in value and you did not own in because the stock does not pay dividends. One you may not have bought it anyways, but it is important to remember, the stock exchanges have many stocks in their listings. Most stocks on the listings do not pay dividends and most will not make you a wealthier as time goes on. It may seem you are missing the instant on, but over time with dividends and the increasing value of the stock you will be better off and as Martha Stewart says that is a good thing.

There are more questions than answers, till the next time – to raising questions.
