It is important to note, that the dividend payments are proposed by the management of the companies and approved by the shareholders meeting. Therefore, even companies that have a good and stable dividend history, might decrease their dividend or even stop paying them when encountering difficult times. Don’t forget to diversify your investment portfolio!  

* The ex-dividend date – usually investors (shareholders) who buy the Stock (shares) on the ex-dividend date or after will not receive a dividend for last period.
