I like the idea of passive incoming coming from a stable stock, so I started looking at high yield dividends being paid out by some solid, consistent companies.
The thing I don't fully understand is the math for a dividend done based on the number of shares or the value of those shares?
I am trying to figure out if I am better off putting money into an expensive stock with a high yield like IBM, or a cheaper stock with a high yield like AMCOR PLC. Neither have a ton of growth gain potential, so I would be looking at them almost exclusively for the dividend.
Also, you like quarterly dividends, or is the idea of a monthly from a REIT more appealing to you?
