- Trading 101: What is a Dividend?
Come join me for a live session where I talk more about trading, the markets and all the money that can be made. Claim a seat here: claytrader.com...
When I first started to learn about the stock market, one of the first question I remember asking was, "what is a stock dividend?" I've come a long way since then; however, if you are new to the markets, perhaps you have no idea what a dividend is. Essentially it is simply just a "thank you" card from a company, with some cash. I'll explain more in the video.

what i learned-
Dividends get you girls
Fact.
Girls just want the D. And by D I mean dividend
lol
Lol
Right...lol
This is what they should teach in school...
I agree!
Everything I learned in economics class is faded (after 10yr professional life) to only 1 principle: demand is a very large factor in determining the price of a product :).. I would have appreciated more details about investing! Actually, I used to have the exact same TI calculator :)
Totally agree
No one has to. It’s all over CZcams.
You don't need school to teach you anything. I learned more about life, science, money, etc playing JRPG on the super nintendo and gameboy advance than I did in school. If you want to learn something: Google/youtube/read a book. :P
Ok I'll try that pickup line: "I bought a pepperoni pizza and the dividend yield is 3.57%"
😮
It'll work. Trust me!
Did it work . No lmao so entertaining!
Dividend yield is 3.1415...

Just wanted to say thanks for this video! I recently turned 19 and have been trying to learn as much as I can about trading and the market to secure myself a stable financial future. Videos like this turn a daunting topic into something a beginner can easily comprehend. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of your Trading 101 series.
Awesome Joey!
Your videos make the world of finance so much easier to understand. It's funny how you say "If you want to look smart", that's exactly how most financial advisors are!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for the kind words. I mean I get it, its "cool to sound smart", the problem is, if you are trying to explain a topic to someone, that usually means you aren't doing a good job of explaining it lol
Where do you get x100?
Samalyaboss martin
He wanted to turn the number into a percentage, hence the x100
Brayden Pecina so x100=%100?
Sama.40shooter martin no, it was a decimal, and if you want to turn a decimal into a percentage, you multiply by 100
"1.25 divided by 35 is I don't know what that is" lmfaoooo same 😭
:-)
I laughed when he said that and just walked of to grab calculator. Keeping it real.
You are a real CZcamsr. You respond to almost all the comments I have read. A true gem in CZcams. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words. I do my best to keep up with the comments.
#facts💯 the fact he takes the time to reply to everyone is appreciated!
ClayTrader #appreciated💯
This is when learning becomes fun. When I learn something *because I want to* about something that I'll use years from now.
cheers
title is misleading.. why not just call it "how to pick up girls"... ;p
hahaha... good point! Thanks for calling me out!
Hilarious
Lmao
LMFAO

Im surprised how this vedio is 5 years old and this man is still replaying to comments
Thats a good CZcamsr
I'm trying my best!

I'm a newbie at this...I just started listening to you as I drive my kids to school..and I love how you explain everything and make it so simple to understand!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you're finding the content helpful.
Hey man I just wanted to say thanks for this video. I got into dividends years ago and I remember I started with this exact video. I put 6 figures in an account and now I'm retired. It took 6 years to make that money and I remember it was this video that opened my mind up. Crazy how time works haha cheers tho!
Glad I could help! Congrats!
its 2019 and people like me a 15 year old boy are still watching and learning from your videos. Thanks man couldn't of made it without your videos.
Glad you're finding them helpful!
thank you for breaking it down to elementary level! Every other video I watch talks to their "beginner" watchers like we know what were doing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Bro. You've really made it understandable. That's a special gift when you can take complex issues and break them down (not dumb it down) that folks can understand them. Well done.
Thanks for the feedback and kind words William. Glad it could provide value!
You are an amazing teacher. Not like other people who confuse you by trying to sound smart and also not like other CZcamsrs who try to make investing sound like get rich quick schemes and that it's easy. Your very genuine and an extremely good teacher. I'm a new sub and I'll stay forever. Keep up the good work and thank you!
Welcome to the channel and thanks for the feedback!
I love learning like this. Just one take, a man and a whiteboard. Perfect just perfect!

This video is just very very basic... if you want my full blown investment strategy, go here claytrader.com/courses/grow-rich/
You are incredible . Your response to everybody amazed me !

Can you number each video so we know which one to watch in order, because i start watching and half way through you refer us to watch another video first and it's quite confusing.

Damn you have to be the best CZcamsr in the world, to be so informative and still communicate with subscribers on old videos shows you really are a good person. Nothing but respect
I try my best. Glad it could provide some value!
I am just starting to get into stocks again, and all thanks to my high school math teacher. We went to wall street for a field trip and i guess he noticed that i was the only one interested in what he was saying that he talked my ear off about how to invest, and here i am now trying to invest and understand. Thank you for making this whole dividend thing easy to understand.
Cheers. Good for you for being interested at such a young age!
😂😂😂😂 I couldn't help but laugh every time he said just do this and you can get girls 😂😂 Stocks & dating advice
Thanks. That offended some, but I'm glad you took it as it was meant.... an innocent joke.
plz do a video on equity, forex, etc type of stocks
I'll see what I can do.
Awesome stuff man. Likes, Subscribed and turned on post notifications, I'm 17 and hope to get into the stock market at 18-19. Thank you!
That's great you're already interested in this stuff at such a young age. Good for you!
I didn’t understand until you said it gets girls. Now i am a master of the dividend yield.
haha!
Im checking this out about 3 years later cause now I'm starting to learn about stocks. Gotta say that you just explained everything very simple and easy and just made me feel stupid for overcomplicating things. Thank you and I wish I can give you a dividend.
Glad it was helpful!
What if I want to pick up guys not girls? Will that work on them too? lol :) Aside from the U.S. stock exchange what other market would you recommend people invest in or which one is doing very well, if one wants to try foreign market? I am new at this- thank you for the pizza! :)
hahaha, well played! I'm sure you could pick up the type of guy you'd want anyways with that type of talk. It'd be like a good built in filter to keep away the meatheads... I really can't comment on other countries since I only trade/invest in the US markets. With that being said, you can also invest in things such as gold, oil, et. (called "commodities).
thats gonna make our penis look small.
ClayTrader what are your thoughts on Forex Trading ? Have you ever looked into this.
No it does not work on guys sorry :/
Yes it will work.
You have THE BEST youtube channel for Trader Beginners 😊 #ThankYou
Glad you are enjoying!
Thank you so much, especially for the GIRLS TIP! hahaha.
You're welcome! lol
It's absolutely insane to me that you are still responding to comments on a video from seven years ago. I just stumbled across this channel and i think that it is awesome!
Trying my best!
Man I Said the same thing. Dude definitely earned a sub just cause of that alone.
@@OnlyUknow2 i appreciate that! Thanks
Watching this at 12 pm because I couldn’t get a definition for this word for my dumb brain lol now I get it !!! I can sleep good just subscribed thanks !
Glad it could help. Welcome to the channel!
So if you have 500 shares of a company do you get the dividend price multiplied by 500 so for instance if you had 500 shares and the dividend was $1.25 would you get $625
Yes, $625 divided by 4 if it is a "quarterly" payment.
ClayTrader where will the company share their dividend schedule?
Z Douce it’s annoying trying to find it
@@zdouce674 On the investor relations tab of their corporate website
What the shares actually are ?
What happens if nobody wants to buy my stocks? To sell my stock, there must be a buyer, right? But what if there is no buyer? Will the company that sold the share to me buys it off me? What happens if nobody wants to buy a particular company's stocks? Will it be forced to be delisted from the market? Who decides if the stock price should increase by certain amount, for example, from 1.23 to 1.28? How did it arrived at the price of 1.23 and not more? What happens if the company gone bust? Will I be able to get my money back?
Then you lose all your money. That's part of the risk, although the odds that NO ONE wants to buy is very slim assuming you are choosing the right stocks.
Yeah. And as long as you're buying good quality pepperoni, you're covered, dude.
Hey man, I'm your new subscriber. Just wanna say thanks for your explanation, it was very clear 😃. Gonna watch the rest of the videos and comment if i have any questions
Glad you're enjoying. Welcome to the channel.
Thank you.

Glad to help!
I have definitely duked it out with some girls at a bar when a guy mentioned dividends. It’s rough out there finding guys who are financially literate, or even just literate in general. Thanks for the video, I learned a lot as a first time investor 😊
Boom
Thanks for the video bro! It really cleared a lot of stuff up for me.. I'm 13 and I'm trying to seriously learn about the stock market so I can make some good investments. So imma just binge watch all your videos😁😁 ps. Do you do any courses, if so can you give me a link😊

Thank you for making it so easy to understand. subscribed :D
You're welcome. Glad they help.
Dude!! I learned ...thats a different thing...but the accidental sense of humor is amazing. Im subscribing.
Glad you enjoyed. Welcome to the channel.
Hey! I just wanted to say thank you! this really cleared up all the confusion I had about dividends.
Postscript: I can't believe you are actually replying to everyone's comment!
Happy to help!
Soooo let’s say there’s a stock at $1 and i buy 100 shares so i have $100 down on that stock. But the dividend yield is $10. Does that mean at the end of the year i make $1,000 (due to $10 dividends and the amount of my owner ship) plus what ever that stocks current price is at. Let say it went from $1 -> $2??????
Correct.
ClayTrader another question. After the year is over. Do i still remain at the same dividend yield? Or will it change? Like example i bought in at $10 dividend yield but next year its $8 dividend yield. Do i still get he $10 from when i initially bought in at?
This and much more all explained in my investing course claytrader.com/courses/grow-rich/
“Keep math easy” then pulls out calculator lol. Jk man thanks for your vids
lol... good irony there for sure
5:38 Oh I'm that smart. I estimated 0.35 (damn I was close)
Good job.
Lucky guess
Actually, he was off by 0.3143. Just sayin lol
This was so helpful. I wish I found your channel earlier. As a 14 year old, I so easily understood it. Your teaching is genuinely impressive. I am speechless. Keep it up!

I subscribed only because he is also teaching me how get chickas and at the same time educating me. Good one sir
lol, welcome to the channel!
Thank you for this great video. I got one question: you mentioned in your previous video that there are two ways of making money in the stock market, either through dividend or growth. I understood how the growth option work. In the formula, the dividend yield is inversely related to the share, so if the share goes down, you should expect a higher yield and vice versa. How is the dividend affected? And which is safer, having dividend or going with the growth option? It is a long question but I hope it makes sense.
I have an entire online video course where I go into detail about all these sorts of things. If interested, you can learn more here claytrader.com/courses/grow-rich/
If you buy the stock a day before the dividend gets paid, do you receive the whole dividend or just a percentage of it?
The whole dividend.
really? then can we just invest in all companies that give dividends the day befor and sell those stocks. and buy again the day before the next quarter? is this a good strategy?
Carlos Giovanni Fuentes probably not, because the dividend to be paid has already been reflected by the share price.
In theory it does. You gotta get your nose out of the textbooks and step into the REAL world.
How do you know the exact date they will close or pay the dividend?
Thank you for helping me understand stocks more as I'm only 19 trying retire early 😎🤑 and live life comfortably
Congrats! The younger you start, the better.
Im 16😂😂😂
Hello, I'm a girl, and I would prefer to fight for the guy that teaches me how to invest :) Currently, a Business student, learning about investments. This video really simplified it for me, thanks!
I like you!
Simple explanation which makes it easy to understand. I always look for this type of video to help me with my study. Thank you.
Glad it could help!
Suppose a company offers you $4 dividend per share annually and they give you the dividend quarterly which would be $1 quarterly per share. What if you want to hold onto the shares for only three month, do you still get $1 dividend when you sell it or you have to hold the shares for a year?
You have to buy and be an owner of the stock on certain dates. These are given by the company.
@@claytrader does that mean, I could buy a few shares a day or two days before the given dates for dividend payment and then get dividend? And after that I got the dividend I could resell it after a day or two?
@@bavanabavz5900 Nope. There are rules in place that prevent that.
tnx for the vid clay. but the whole marriage bit? LOL i doubt it. hilarious tho. lovin your vids.
Glad you enjoyed! Ya never know about the marriage thing!

Good quote!
Thank you!! I’m showing your videos to my kids because the schools aren’t teaching it!!
Awesome! Thank you!
1. How long do you have to hold a share to get a dividend? What if I bought in the last month of the quarter?
2. How does it pay out exactly? In cash to my account or in the form of more shares?
I have an indepth course here courses.moneywithclay.com/p/grow-rich
Yea, I'll pick up girls alright... my friends 😂
haha... it'll work on guys too!
Marry me!
Ok so just to be clear...If a company pays dividends at $1.25 ...and they pay out quarterly ...you get a percentage of that $1.25 each quarter that ultimately equals $1.25 by the end of all four quarters??? I'm def not trying to be complicated just trying to understand a little better.
Correct.
Wait wait that's not true. If they pay a $ amount per quarter you get that dollar amount each quarter. In the example you gave in the video that Jim is referencing the $1.25 is paid each quarter. In a year, you receive $6 if you are a shareholder as of each ex-date.
@@dividendsforhope8012 no he said the $1.25 is paid per year, so the $1.25 is divided into 4 which is about 31c per quarter
@@dividendsforhope8012 go to 2:45
I used ur advice. I was at bar. It went down like this...
Me: "sup shawty. I got a dividend yield at my place. Its huge. Wanna come see it?"
Her: "oh mr. hansome. Sure! But wait, how big is the %?"
Me: "69%"
Her: " 😱😍"
This works folks.
I'm a witness... I mean, this is my personal testimony.
Word.
My advice wasn't to be a creep.
wow
Big fan of dividends. They get covered a lot in the books that get covered on the channel. Excellent video!

He ClayTrader. I want to thank you for sharing this information in a normal understandable way. There are lots of video's on CZcams about Trading and Forex concepts but they are always using words from another planet. Well, it's ok to use those words but not to learn beginners.

Glad to help!
Being a noob, I have some stupid questions😅:
-In the stock market, if someone buys stocks and decides to sell them, another individual will own those stocks then will sell them to another. In this whole story, how is it beneficial for a company if this money is constantly exchanged between outside individuals? How does this impact the company's cash flow?
-How does a stock gain in value? I know supply and demand play a role, but I would like to understand this science. How does the act of buying a stock increase its value concretely? Are there individuals who change the value of stocks according to demand?
Thank you
