#12> to get feedback, in particular, about monetizing
Why should I care about high dividend yield? FINRA prohibits "selling the dividend"[1], and this project seems one step removed. Not illegal or necessarily deceptive, but seems closer to unsound than sound investing advice.

#13IMO, you are very unlikely to monetize using anything other than advertisements. Just use google Adsense and focus on driving traffic to your site. A few things you can do:
* Expand the focus of the site to near-retiree/ retiree/ Fire and their need for regular monthly cash flow.
* Focus on portfolio construction using monthly income securities for different scenarios, economic cycles, etc. use criteria like low monthly cash flow variance, price stability, capital preservation etc.
* Add a blog/article section where you can post articles addressing your target audience.
* get inspiration from a few subreddit focusing on similar topics, for example /r/dividends, /r/qyldgang, /r/jepq, etc. Try to answer questions typically raised in such subreddits and provide tools on your site related to frequent queries made on such forums.

#14Dividends are useless, because the stock falls in value relative to the dividend when it is paid.
Dividends allow you to obtain money from the business without giving up control. Small distinction, and only really relevant to those with large holdings.

Money in the pocket. If you trust the company you assume that the stock will recover the value eventually.
I think the point is that, in theory at least, the price would have been higher at the point of value recovery by the dividend amount.
Of course, it’s never exactly that simple in practice, as there are many other factors affecting share price. But there’s a point in dividend payout being referred to as forced fractional share sale.

#16What is laid out here is called "yield chasing". Companies with extraorbitant dividend yield often end up losing much more on a 5Y timescale.
There are very, very few companies that pay more than 3% and not end up losing money on the long run. (And even that is very bleak compared to just a vanilla S&P 500 yield).
If there was a "magic bullet" high yield stock, everyone would flock and buy that one.

Dividends as a concept are excellent, because they allow generating income on an appreciating asset.
But I've seen exactly none that beats the S&P 500 on a long timescale, even with dividends reinvested.

some of the mining giants usually offer great dividends and pretty stable stock.
check: rio tinto, bhp, anglo american, glencore.

Totally depends on your use case. If you want regular passive income from your investment, it's much simpler to get dividends then to regularly sell small amounts of it.

Dividend companies don't have anything better to do with their profits than pay them back to investors. Sure, many successful companies will end up there at some point. But there's not much correlation with that and an investment that's good starting today.
