There are 2 ways to make money in the stock market:
1. Capital Gains: Buy low, Sell high 📈
2. Dividends: Get paid to hold 💸
The 2nd one builds wealth on autopilot.
Example:
Buy $2,000 of Coca-Cola stock.
It pays you ~$70 every year. For doing nothing.
In 10 years = $700 free.
Plus your $2,000 is probably worth more too.
This is called "Passive Income"
But before you buy, check 3 things:
👉 **Dividend Yield**: Your annual return.
$100 stock paying $5 = 5% yield
👉 **Payout Ratio**: % of profit paid out.
95% = risky. 40-60% = safe
👉 **Ex-Dividend Date**: The deadline. Buy BEFORE this date or the last owner gets the cash
