Invest in Dividend Yield Stocks instead of Bank FDs
The calculation of dividend yield uses the market price of the stock. Thus, in our example, dividend yield was 2.5%. Now, since you are a long term investor, you buy a stock and hold it for a long term. During this time, the stock may undergo stock splits and bonuses. Also, the price of the stock goes up over time. This means that although the prevailing price of the share is high, your cost of acquisition of the stock could be fairly lower compared to the market price.

Making Money with Dividends
Dividends are profits the company distributes to shareholders. The companies don’t do this out of the kindness of their hearts – this is what a company is all about; making money for the owners.
Most companies pay dividends in the form of cash, although you may hear of occasions when a company uses stock instead. Many investors are attracted to stocks with a good history of paying dividends. These companies are usually well established and profitable, but may not offer much in the way of growth potential.
The company’s board of directors sets the dividend at a quarterly meeting. It is important to note that they are under no obligation to pay a dividend. If the company is hurting financially or the board is concerned about future prospects, it can forego the dividend.
The board sets the dividend rate at a per share basis. For example, the board may declare a quarterly dividend of Rs 0.50 per share. This means if you own 100 shares of stock, you will get a check for Rs.50 for that quarter.
Important Dates
• The Declaration Date: This is the date the board sets the dividend and announces when the stockholders will get their checks. The board also announces the Ex-Dividend Date, which is a very important date to know.

Investing in Stocks for Regular Income & Long Term Growth
One of the major benefits of owning stocks is their ability to produce regular income (dividends payment) and long-term growth.
The challenges of the 2008-09 financial crisis put a strain on some companies to reduce or eliminate dividends, but for strong companies, this is just temporary.
When the economy rebounds, some companies will be in better financial condition than others. Mature companies with established markets may be in an enviable financial position.
As is often the case, companies providing products or services to businesses may experience rapid growth. Companies that have curtailed spending during the economic crisis will play catch-up, scrambling to capture market share or protect what they still have.
As we work through a recovery, market-leading companies will become cash cows, throwing off extra income in the form of dividends and stock buybacks. It is safe to assume that investors are going to be more wary of risk in the future. Companies with a consistent record of dividend payment and growth will command a premium in the market.
It is almost certain that either through regulation or shareholder action, executive compensation and bonuses will come under close scrutiny. Stocks that return more profits to shareholders may be viewed in a more favorable light by regulators and shareholders. Don’t be surprised if regulators encourage dividends through tax policies.
For investors, the combination of regular income and long-term growth makes stocks a wise choice for those with a long time frame. While there is still be much emphasis on quarterly profits, the investing community is likely to take a closer look at companies that have a longer term approach to growing the business.
With the right stocks in your portfolio, it is hard to beat the potential of current income and long-term growth.

5 Advantages of Investing in Dividend paying Stocks
1. Dividends offer ongoing returns year in and year out.
This is a key advantage over non-dividend-paying stocks. This cash return is received even during down or flat markets. Shareholders can use this cash payment any way they want — reinvest it in additional shares (perhaps the most appealing option considering the potential for significant future returns), apply it toward a different investment, save it or spend it.
2. Dividend yields increase during bear markets.
The recent market pullback has provided dividend yields not seen for several years, which are very attractive compared to current interest rates. The compounding effect of even a couple percentage points will have material impact on total return over the long haul.
3. Dividends can provide a cushion in down markets.
A dependable dividend provides support for a stock because, no matter what is happening in the stock market, investors will eventually jump in to buy if the yield is attractive enough. So in market corrections, demand for consistent dividend payers increases as investors move toward safety, while demand for speculative stocks usually decreases. This price support, coupled with the cash return the dividend provides, can soften the impact of market downturns.
4. Dividend reinvestment while stock prices are depressed can enhance returns during market recoveries.
While it might not seem like it right now, both the market and the economy will eventually recover and grow again. When stock prices are depressed, cash dividends can be reinvested into a greater number of shares, which can create a dollar-cost-averaging effect. This can materially enhance returns during market recoveries.
5. Dividends can grow. Historically, many companies have increased their dividend payments over time.
In fact, several companies have increased dividends to shareholders for 15 or more consecutive years. This is one of the main differences between stocks and fixed-income investments, such as bonds, and a key benefit when economic conditions improve. As a result, stocks are not as impacted by changes in interest rates and can act as a hedge against inflation.
With today's low interest rates on cash investments and reduced returns on other asset classes; it's easy to see why many investors are turning to dividend-paying stocks to provide them with attractive yield and capital gain potential. But it's also important to note that dividend-paying stocks are not the be-all and end-all of any investment strategy — every portfolio needs to include a variety of investment types to help reduce exposure to risk.
