Sale and Dividends

chart shows the level of dividends for all the stocks in the S&P 500

There are two ways to make money in stocks:

  1. Sell your stock to someone else.  
  2. Receive cash distributions from the stock (most often in the form of regular dividends.)

Here is a great chart from S&P Dow Jones that shows the level of dividends for all the stocks in the S&P 500. You’ll notice a steady increase every year (except for a minor reduction during COVID) going all the way back to 2012, and so far this year, we are on track for another record.

Quite simply, over time, this increase in dividends is why the prices of stocks go up.
