Dave:                                    00:34                     All right folks. Welcome to the Investing for Beginners podcast. This is episode 85. So tonight Andrew and I are going to talk about dividends, our favorite subject. Andrew over the weekend had some revelations on some thoughts on dividends and some metrics and he’s got some great blog posts that are going to be coming out here shortly that we’ll talk a lot about what we’re going to talk a little touching on tonight. So some of the metrics that we’re going to talk a little bit about. We’re going to be current yield, recent dividend growth, consecutive years of dividend growth and yield on cost. And I’m going to have Andrew go ahead and start us off and he’s going to be kind of the lead guy tonight and I’ll throw in my two cents on occasion when I feel it’s relevant. So Andrew, why don’t you go ahead and take us away.

Andrew:                              01:21                     Alright,

I’ll take the wheel. So by the way, by the time this goes live, those posts will

be on the blog. So if you go on, they’re going to be a four post series and uh,

you can go in depth and really get deep into the weeds so it’s actually useful

and you can actually use it when you’re trying to look at dividend stocks. I

figure we would talk about some of the ways that people currently trying to

find good dividend then stocks. It’s a great primer for beginners and, and

there’s some good metrics that we really haven’t touched on much and any of the

episodes that we’ve recorded a and stuff you’ll see in financial websites when

you’re sifting through dividend stocks, trying to find, you know, the ones that

will really drip and do really well give you outsize returns for your

portfolio. But you know, some of these metrics also have some things missing

with them. And so that’s what all kind of get deeper into.
