THE GUIDE TO DIVIDENDS:
Anytime you buy a stock, that entitles you to a small portion of that company's profits - and, sometimes, those profits are distributed to you on a regular basis in the form of a dividend.
PROS:
-They’re somewhat insulated from the stock market.
For the most part, you know that you’ll get a predictable dividend payment - regardless of what happens with the market.
-Dividend Payments have also been less volatile than stock prices.
For example, the Simply Safe Dividends blog found that - from 1900 through 2018 - dividend payments remained fairly constant, with an average variance of +/- 10% during market downturns.
-Throughout Recessions - Dividend payments sometimes increase.
As Simply Safe Dividends points out, “in three of the above recessions…dividends paid to investors actually increased, including a 46% jump during the first recession following WW II.”
-Dividend stocks have been shown to provide a comparable return to the overall market.

In fact, Fidelity found that dividends accounted for 54% of market returns during times when inflation was above 5%.
CONS:
-Dividends ARE NOT guaranteed.
Even though companies generally try to avoid cutting or reducing dividend payments, this does happen, and because dividends are often a reflection of a company’s profits, in the event of a downturn, they may chose to pause distributions until conditions improve.
-Dividend payouts mean nothing when the company itself declines in value.
In this case, earning 5% annually might actually LOSE YOU MONEY when the stock itself declines 30%.
-There can be tax disadvantages.
Unlike buying a stock and only paying tax when you sell, Dividends are taxed the moment you receive them - and, depending on your tax bracket, it could be as high as 20%, or more.
-Dividends could flat-out be “irrelevant.”
In this case, two well-known economists argued that - if an investor needs money - all they really need to do is sell the stock - and that, dividends don’t actually create any more value for the company itself.
From my perspective, though - MONEY ISN’T FREE, and even though you’re getting paid a dividend, that REALLY just comes out of the company’s cashflow that isn’t being re-invested to grow the business.
That’s why I think that the real benefit of “dividends” isn’t so much that they’re a better investment, or - that they’re superior to a stock that DOESN’T pay a dividend - but, instead - they give you the psychological benefit of receiving steady income, without the need to physically sell your shares to collect your money.
