Dividend investing explained for beginners, fast. If a $100 stock pays a $5 dividend, do you have $105 — or $95 plus $5 in cash? Meb Faber's survey found only about 1 in 4 everyday investors get it right. I cover why dividends aren't free money, why a high dividend yield is often a warning sign (GE, Kraft Heinz, AT&T, Intel, Walgreens all cut theirs), and the one rule that matters most: buy the company, not the dividend. Plus, I show you how to check if a dividend is actually safe for free using the free cash flow payout ratio — and why the earnings payout ratio most websites show you can be misleading. If you're wondering how dividends work or whether high-yield dividend stocks are a good idea, this is the 7-minute version.[Link to YouTube Video]
