Assessing your investing IQ: More on Dividends


Using the words 'dividends', 'sex' and 'joke' in the headline of a recent post has set it on fire. It made me wonder which word generated the most clicks. This post (along with two others I'm posting at the same time with 'sex' and 'joke' in their respective headlines), is a short experiment and I will be reporting later on the results.

I assume the word 'sex' is likely to attract the most people's attention, but the most important word is dividends. And if you don't learn more about this, then you are joking when it comes to investing. Whatever sex appeal you have will fade, and you will be poorer and wondering why.

So go back and reread my post on dividends! You won't regret it.
