Dividends are nice. Personally, I sometimes use my dividends to buy other dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same stock. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!

The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit within a short term, but in order to execute such strategy , you must be a skilled practitioner

[@FinnBraylon]

the best market strategy is to work with a credible investing coach. Since a while ago, I've been in touch with a coach, mostly because I lack the depth of understanding and mental toughness to deal with the ongoing market conditions. You lack the information necessary to succeed in a competitive market, not because you're doing anything wrong, but rather because of your lack of experience.

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this consultant?

[@FinnBraylon]

‘Sonya Lee MItchell’ is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

This is financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!

[@lailaalfaddil7389]

Very true, I started investing before the pandemic and that same year I pulled a profit of about $750k with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was seeking guidance from *ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* who's a guru in the game, you can be passively involved with the aid of a professional.

[@susannnico]

*ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* is my portfolio-coach, I found her on Bloomberg where she was featured, I looked up her name on the internet. Fortunately I came across her site and reached out to her, you can verify her yourself.

For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (financial consultant) to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (Alexandra Diana Jose) a consultant who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance. She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy... So I'd advise you do get a good investment advisor for yourself.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🏢 A bond allows an individual to be a partial lender to a company. 01:28 📈 Companies can either finance growth by issuing more equity (shares) or borrowing money (issuing debt). 02:55 💸 Borrowing doesn't dilute company ownership, but borrowers must be paid interest before shareholders see profits. 04:53 📜 Bonds are certificates issued by companies to raise funds. They state the face (or par) value, interest rate, and maturity date. 07:18 ⌛ Bond interest payments, called "coupons", are typically paid semi-annually, with the principal returned at maturity. Made with HARPA AI

[@cthedreammasterp1217]

I still didn't really get how the bond payments worked when including the interest.

This may be a dumb question but would appreciate if someone could help me understand - if a company is able to issue and sell stock to raise $ then why would they want to go into debt as an alternative? Overall, debt is not a good thing but being able to raise $ through selling something seems like the better alternative. I'm sure I'm missing some critical info here so if anyone could help, I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

[@kathleenng924]

The advantages of issuing bonds over stock are: 1/ Bondholders do not have voting rights and cannot share the companies' earnings. 2/ Interest expense is tax deductible, but dividends are not 3/ Money can usually be borrowed at a lower rate and then invested to earn a higher return on assets. Of course, issuing bonds comes at a risk since the company is in debt. However, there are certain advantages to doing so, as I mentioned above.

So companies can sell equity that they actually don't have? Where would the $5m come from and how would they get people to buy shares on it?

[@tashidorjipelbar4321]

Mick C I’m having the same problem.I just have a problem regarding the first scenario. If the company has an equity valued at 10 million and 1 million shares going at 10 bucks a piece. How can they give 500,000 shares, ipo? And is the 1.5 million valued equity, after the ipo?

[@ryanross7785]

@@tashidorjipelbar4321 Once every single one of the 500,000 new shares that were issued are bought, the money from the new shareholders are added to the assets so there is still a $10 for every share ratio going on. People do this in hopes that the money they're lending to the company will bring them a profit later on if company does well and the stock price goes up.

[@SHIFTKICK]

@@ryanross7785 Thanks, I see now...so the assets increase to $15m, the shares increase to 1.5m, and we still have $10 per share. I guess the question then is, what is the risk here? Why would a company continue to finance themselves this way such that they can keep investing in growth. I suppose there is a limit to the people who will buy shares, or maybe more shares/assets require more returns? Edit: Never mind, he goes on to explain it in the video. More shareholders means splitting the profits amount more people.

Dear Mr. Khan really thanks for making the videos I really enjoyed and learned a lot from these videos. I just have a quick question about the first 3 minutes of this video, why the share holders would agree on reducing their share of the company? lets say I own 50% share of the original asset, then by issuing extra stocks which generating 5M cash, my share will drop to 33%. Is it because the total earnings of 33% and 50% would be the same, by investing the extra 5M? what is the thought behind this concept? Again I really enjoying these programs thanks in advance.

[@AdammC125]

The shareholders don’t really have a choice, which is why when stocks issue new shares the stock price usually drops to reflect that. However, issuing new shares can be beneficial to the current shareholders over the long term because the company can invest the capital it raised from the new shares and increase their earnings
