1. great video, nice explanation of the pay out ratio
2. I have a question I hope is easy to answer. Since Dividends are paid by the share - if I were to by one stock that paid $1 per share in dividends (which was 1% of the share price at that time) and then five years later that stock was now paying $2 per shares in dividends (which was now 1% of its new current share price)  and I still own my one original share - would I essentially be now getting paid a 2% yield on my original starting principle amount? This seems to me how it worked if it is truly paid 'by the share', but it wouldn't be the first time there is some mechanic behind the scenes to trick an investor.
3. The dividend yield changes as the stock price moves up and down. Dividend consistency is easily found by looking at past dividend payments on some financial sites. Investing for dividend income has its own challenges, there are plenty of questions you need to ask yourself before you even start your investment search. The dividend yield is only one factor you need to look at.
4. U r awesome Bro!!
5. How do i find out the information i need to look at a share for divined yields 
6. The divined yield. Is it determined by the current price and yield of the share, or of the share at the time of purchase?
7. Does anyone know of a spamming website were I can make $3000+
8. because they dont need to reinvest that money anymore
9. Hi Tim, why would a company pay a dividend? What's the benefit for them? Is it to entice more shareholders to invest more money with the company?
10. I have another question, if 75% of the UK's economy is the service sector, how do we afford all the imports we do, are we borrowing to import goods. Can we export services?
11. Hi Tim. Could you do a video on what benefits The City brings to Britain as a whole. I assume the money that passes through The City is taxed to some degree. Does it still only benefit the elite group that work there, or does it have wider implications. Also could you do a similar video on how Hedge funds damage(if they do) the economy, basically skimming money out of the economy into tax havens, can't be a good thing? Thanks
12. you gotta shorten that intro dude.
13. Is there any page/ article that tells me all the calculation i can do in order to pick good stock like the pay out ratio and working out the dividend yield?
14. In my 17 years in this business, I have only known ONE guy that could pick crazy yield stocks, and get in, and out at the right time - because of an extreme knowledge of the businesses. Myself? I just figure it's easier to stick from 2.5% to 4.8% with consistency, low debt for the sector, good EPS and payout ratio below 30% ...
