When you buy a company's stock you become its part-owner. Being an owner, you deserve a share in the company's profits. It is your reward. This share of the profit is dividends.
Dividend paying stocks are a favourite with Indian investors and for good reason.
Dividends are a good source of regular income. You feel great once the payout hits your bank account.
Dividend paying stocks give out dividends irrespective of the market performance whereas appreciation in the value of the stock usually comes as the broader markets rise.
An investor can make use of power of compounding by investing in such a way that dividend earned in a year is added to the principle the next year. Follow this pattern sincerely for a few years and you will be surprised at the amount of wealth you will have accumulated at the end of the period.
So, if you're worried about what to do when markets turn volatile, it's always a great idea to add some stability to your portfolio by adding dividend stocks.
