Dividend Question?

Let me explain this and see if I'm right


If you buy 1 share of XYZ for $30 dollars with a 3% dividend

or 1 share of XXX for $10 dollars with a 3 % dividend

Now I'm thinking I will buy 3 shares of XXX at $10
that will give me now a 9 % dividend which is a
better deal then 1 share of XYZ at $30 right?

as I own 3 times more of a 3% stock

My wife says no to her 3% is 3% no matter how many shares
you own

I'm saying no way! I own 3x more shares
more shares means more dividends...

 

Your wife is pretty sharp.

 

Do the math if you are not convinced:
3% of $30 = $0.90 x 1 share = $0.90.
3% of $10 = $0.30 x 3 shares = $0.90

You get the same dividend either way.

 

Your better handle the shares stuff to your wife and you be at the kitchen instead...

give your wife all your money to handle and have her remove any sharp utensils from the house.
