    does it just get dumped into that balance without notification or update? this is what i see when i log in:

    Now i know my holdings/dividend payout is small enough to barely notice a diff but i figure it would let me know how much regardless as i begin to grow my portfolio. And considering I use robinhood app wayyy more bc of no commission fees itll be a lot of work to have to keep up with how much i received and when.

    Ford paid on 9/1 and Target dividend payout date is 9/10 which im assuming changes to today since its a business day. Im just wondering whether or not i get specific info regarding my dividends in my portfolio or if im just totally doing something wrong altogether.

    In the robinhood app it shows up clearly in History from the Main menu

    When i click the stock it tells me dividend date and exact payout amount.

    Cant find that on the Ally broker site

    In your Ally account, all of your dividends are dispersed in cash.

    to access your dividends from a desktop/laptop (in an Ally brokerage account), sign in and go to your My Accounts page. from there, look for Activity, which should be directly under Quotes & Research.

    once you're on the Activity page, change Range to "Year To Date," and in the Show box, enter "Dividends." voila.

    when u receive Dividends, they always go straight to cash. in an Ally account, they typically show up around 4 am the day after their dispersal (for example, the dividend date is 09/13, they'll show up around 4 am on 09/14).

    if u did not purchase the shares before the Ex-dividend date, u won't receive the dividends until the following dispersal date
    (for example, if the Ex-dividend date is 09/13 and one purchases the shares anytime on 09/13 or afterward, they have to wait until the next declaration date to get dividends).

    the more companies I buy, the more dividends I get

    the more dividends I make, the more companies I can buy

    continually add capital

    at some point, there's a crossover, and your dividends alone can buy more companies. a little further and your dividend income will make enough to cover your living expenses. at that point, you're financially free. omw

    thats where im trying to get to. props

    What are y'all thoughts; DRIP or let the dividend payments just stack up on your cash balance? This was probably asked before but I'm asking again.

    I don't deal with DRIP payments, I prefer to let the dividends stack up and deploy them myself...I'll give an example.

    if u have a share that's currently at a high valuation, buying more of that stock results in less of a buffer. u wanna cop shares when the stock is undervalued, but if u use DRIP only, u have no say in the matter.

    if u deploy the dividends yourself (let them stack up, then cop shares in whatever u want, whenever u want), then u can purchase shares of ANY stock, whenever the valuation is at a good point.


    for example, let's say we're talmbout Disney (DIS). it's currently slightly undervalued, at $99.86. for the sake of the example, let's say the share price jumps tomorrow, to $130, then a day later, drops back down to $100.

    would u rather be forced to purchase shares of DIS at $130 (with DRIP), or would u rather spend your dividends when u wanted to, and just casually wait until the price went back down again (without DRIP)?

    ^^that's the simplified version, but it's really that easy...

    I've seen a lot mentioned about PC, as well as about mint.com (which helps with budgets, not really related, but I'm always hearing about one or the other). at one time, I was gonna download mint, but never did. not really interested in Personal Capital at the moment, it looks dope, but I actively manage my own stocks (in a passive manner, Team Buy & Hold), so I think it would feel like a step backward...that's just my opinion tho, and it may change in the future.

    good time to rack up on Disney (DIS), General Mills (GIS), and/or Walgreens (WBA). all good companies that ain't goin nowhere, are near/at lows, and pay good size dividends.

    You sure about that? I heard Walgreens is taking a beating because of recent Amazon pharma acquisitions.

    they've raised their dividends every year for the past 42 years. their dividend payout ratio (which would be considered high at 60%), is currently sitting at 37.9%, which means they can easily raise their dividend for the next few years.

    with that said, even if Amazon was to start offering pharma services overnight, it would still be at least years before they impacted Walgreens' bottom line, if they actually do so...during which u can be profiting off of their dividends.

    Edit: 42 years, my bad

    AT&T is suffering right now because more people prefer streaming over television. The dividend payout is still respectable but there’s was a 6% drop in price today. Any thoughts?
