At this time of the year, the writer follows his favourite football team, and recently went in a professional sports arena. On the walls and throughout the arena is advertising for companies which support the team. Some of the advertising is by public companies trying to reach out to a target market; some of the advertising is for public awareness; and some of the advertising is due to the role sports plays in our society as it is a great place to bring clients and/or reward employees. Whether you go to the opera or ballet, the theatre, the sports arena there are advertisers or supporters of the organization.

An idea for you to consider is to cheer for whatever team you wish, but look at the advertisers or supporters to determine if there are any dividend producing companies to invest in. There will be more than one and you have a win – win situation. You can cheer from the seats and cheer when the dividend is paid by a friendly company which makes life a little better in your community.

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