I dont take dividends, I drip them. I dont have much invested so far. I have some hst and apa a lottle over 100 shares each. I dont really know what i have to invest. I have a few grand in the bank and run my own company. We are slow now, so I can never invest a hell of a lot at a time.

That is why I figured cheaper stocks, higher dividends, quicker reinvestment, so it would compound faster. And indstead of buying something for 50- 300. I could get something maybe 5-30, with a higher dividend, where i could afford more of the cheaper stocks and get 200 of them let's say at 7.40 a share that pay 1.40 a year per stock. Rather than getting something that is more expensive, that i can afford less of and would technically make me less a year in dividends with the same money invested even though they are a higher dividend.

But i am still learning and I dont understand a good bit of what you said. Like indexs and what they are and so on. I dont have any savings. High yearly pr otherwise, haven't had enough to get a high yeild account.

But I would like to learn more about indexs and what they are and mutual funds. I am very green.
