In a Market that is full of volatility, you can always count on Dividend play as a good option. Dividend Yield = dividend / stock price. If you put together your dividend yield with your gains from stock price, it is a good arsenal for compounding your stock investment.
In my personal strategy, I considered some factors that are prerequisite in my stock picking. They are:
1. the stock should be from a reputable company with a profitable upside potential
2. Company must be consistent in yearly dividend payouts
3. The higher the dividend yield the better
As part of my stock market strategy / algorithm, I included dividend yield in my investing guide. The dividend yield will affect their corresponding investment rank.
Consider these points the next time you invest in the stock market.
good luck and God bless,
