Dividends and the Hair cut

A couple of weeks ago, my hair was cut by the barber which given the warmer weather it felt great. If you think about the hair care industry – billions of dollars are spent every year, we all grow hair. We have to do something with it or the hair will grow towards you feet and you will be doing something with it. The are divisions of companies which cater to hair such as Head and Shoulders which is part of Proctor and Gamble (P&G); there are many hairdressers which means some are very good and others likely just good and remember your hair does grow back. There are many price points to cut your hair which means some people earn a sizable income from cutting hair. Next time you are in the shop look around at the products the hair dresser uses and you can begin investigating.

Linking to dividend paying stocks, while we all grow hair, the direct link to making money from the hair care industry is not as simple as you first think it should be. The entry point into barber chair is open to many participants – many hair cutters rent the chair, which is one reason why people move around. To make money is to find direct linkages or products that are used by the mass group of people on a regular basis. To make money you need to be selective.

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