A dividend is a cash payment a company makes to shareholders, usually each quarter. Dividend investors look less at rapid price swings and more at current yield (the annual payout as a % of price), payout ratio (how much of earnings is paid out — a read on safety), dividend growth (a rising payout over time), and the ex-dividend date (buy before it to receive the next payment).
