Dividends and Conventions

Just about every group or organization has a convention often at a hotel with guest speakers, and more important to thank people for their work within the organization. Last week the author was at such a convention for a service organization which has been operating for close to 100 years. For about 100 years, the organization has been meeting at a convention more or less the same time each year. In a few months, the beginning of next year’s convention will be planned, in all likelihood at the same hotel. The organizers will go through the comments and determine if the attendees continue to like the hotel and slowly the programme will come together.

Linking to dividend producing stocks, similar to the convention that happens every, the key is a dividend is paid every year. There will be challenges, there will be some changes for the company as people rotate through the company but the dividend needs to paid. There are a few stocks on the exchange that have been paying dividends for over 100 years, not surprisingly if you own them, your wealth would have increased. A company that has paid dividends for a long time has low risk and a high reward making it a great combination.

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