Dividends and Leaves on the Street Corner

The writer lives in an urban area with mature trees in the neighbourhood. In the fall, the trees lose their leaves and some of the leaves accumulate on the street. This week the  city’s crews finally made it to the street and cleaned it. The city collects the leaves to make compost which is then recycled onto gardens and parks around the city. The end result is something to be valued for it is a sustainable, usable product that the wonders of nature do all the work. However, on a urban street, which is used to being relatively clean, the streets were in need of the city’s cleanup.

Linking to dividend producing stocks – when you buy your shares, sometimes you want the company to do perform similar to all the growth stocks you read about or even follow. You know the dividend is coming, but you want an increase in stock price to. There is nothing wrong with the the want, however for most dividend companies, similar to nature doing its work,  the increase happens over time. The continued dividends with the great possibility of increases every year pushes up the stock price. The great advantage of dividend producing shares is you can buy for dividends and receive an increase in stock price to.

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