In one of the free newspapers which are available throughout many big cities an interesting picture was in the paper. The picture looked like a baby giraffe or at least what one suspects a giraffe to look like, however its tail was off which read to the reading of the caption. A lady has the ability to bend her body backwards and allow her hands to rest on the floor; in this shape she had the idea if she extended one of legs it would be in the shape of giraffe. The lady, Beth Sykes from Featherstone in England teamed up with a friend and body art painter Emma Fay, to paint her body to look like a giraffe with Beth’s foot as the face. According to the team it took about 6 hours to do the painting. It likely took many more going from yes it could look like a giraffe, to finding the correct colours, and the other aspects which needed to be done before painting would start. The result was very well done.

Linking to dividend paying stocks, to pose for the picture the artists did their homework and used patience to get the job done, it took 6 hours to do the painting. Often times it is reported when people invest their money, they invest based on one phone call and say ok do it, as if you do not do it money would not be made. When you give yourself patience or time to make a decision, money is not lost. One method to ensure you limit your loses is invest in stocks which pay a dividend. With this method, whether the stock goes up right away or goes up over the course of the year it is ok, for in the meantime you have received your dividend payments. When you add the returns from the dividend and capital gain, for limited risk the return is good.
