Topics covered include:

• What message do companies say when they initiate, grow, or cut their dividend
• What is dividend smoothing
• How have dividend payers performed relative to non-dividend payers
• Why have non-dividend payers, which are primarily growth stocks, outperformed dividend payers
• How the payout ratio and return on equity impact dividend strategies
• What are reasons to include dividend strategies in your portfolio
