Ching. Ching. Ching.

I've heard some people liken the concept of dividends like coins dropped onto a pile of money. Every three months, or every month for some, a little bit more change falls onto the pile.

I like to think of it like the hammer of a blacksmith, continually shaping the future, one strike at a time. The higher the dividend amount, the harder the strike, and the more stocks paying dividends, the more blacksmiths working. After enjoying reading the Elfquest saga over the last week or so, it's like I'm hearing the Trolls down in the depths of the mountain, pounding out their future with hammers, anvils and forges.

How many blacksmiths do you have working for you? Are they getting stronger? Are they training future blacksmiths to strike when the iron is hot?

T: $22.18. Holding the iron firm.
