Dividends and What Colour are You?

Occasionally the writer walks through a University Campus where one of the buildings has special panels on the walls, to give a nightly light show. Due to the park beside the building, a number of people in and around the campus gather and will see the nightly show. The light show is the colours of the rainbow and some of the variations you would like more than others. Why is this the case? Most of us have heard colours say something, no one is quite what, but they say something. Some colours represent cool, some hot, some leadership and the gamete goes on. The writer once followed a sports team which tried all the “correct” colours in their uniforms only to have another bad year. The team was not very good and the “correct” colours was not going to correct it. Having said that, colours do represent something. If you know more about your colours than investing, you should stick to your colours.

If you colours reflect dividend paying stocks, you should stay there. Dividend paying stocks are relatively low risk as they pay dividends and the price should go up over the long term. One great example is Coca Cola, and there are many others.

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