Dividends and Yarn Playgrounds

The writer was reading a free newspaper given to transit riders and there was a colourful picture of Japanese children playing on a crochet playground made with yarn. The size of the playground comprises of thousands of pieces of nylon or a ton of yarn. It is possible that your closest city could see something like it in June, for every year there is a International Yarn-bombing day. If the colours are similar to the ones displayed in the picture, this is one type of bombing that everyone would like.

Besides an interesting picture, the link to dividend paying companies is the earliest companies in the industrial revolution were in the wool industry. Are there companies that are still in the wool industry making money? yes. Do very many exist in the G8 countries that have manufacturing located in that country ? no.  Companies need to evolve and will change, although the desire to receive dividends every year has never changed. What companies that can pay dividends and will pay over time changes. That is why when a company decreases its dividend, it is a very good time to seriously consider moving your investments to a company that is not decreasing their dividends.

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