shares closed higher on Wednesday.

Microsoft announced Tuesday that its board of directors declared a quarterly
dividend of 83 cents per share, which is payable March 13, 2025, to shareholders
of record on Feb. 20, 2025.

With the recent buzz around Microsoft, some investors may be eyeing potential
gains from the company's dividends, too. As of now, Microsoft offers an annual
dividend yield of 0.76%. That’s a quarterly dividend amount of 83 cents per
share ($3.32 a year).

So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500
monthly?

To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need
an investment of approximately $790,418 or around 1,807 shares. For a more
modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $157,909 or around 361
shares.

To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the
dividend ($3.32 in this case). So, $6,000 / $3.32 = 1,807 ($500 per month), and
$1,200 / $3.32 = 361 shares ($100 per month).

Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment
and the stock price both fluctuate over time.

How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend
payment by the stock’s current price.

For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at
$50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price
increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the
stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).

Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company
increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price
stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the
yield.

MSFT Price Action: Shares of Microsoft gained 1.4% to close at $437.42 on
Wednesday.

THE HOW AND WHY OF TRADING GOLD

by Kyle Anthony


December 2, 2024 8:02 AM | 7 min read | Make a Comment

Partner Disclosure

Interested in trading metal futures? Click here to check out Plus500! Gold has
rallied significantly in 2024 thus far, as the macroeconomic backdrop and
geopolitical landscape have compelled investors to seek safety in this asset
class. Gold’s primary value proposition is its ability to protect against
inflation, be a source of diversification and buffer against uncertainty. Though
inflation in many global economies has been greatly reduced, the demand for gold
is still top of mind for many due to the fact that much uncertainty still
remains in the broader socio-economic environment While the investment themes of
artificial intelligence and semiconductors have been prevalent for investors
recently, this has also raised concerns among some around market concentration
in big tech names. Given the low correlation of gold to other asset classes,
exposure to this asset class could seem attractive at this point, given its
diversification capabilities within a portfolio. There are also geopolitical
development considerations, such as war, that have been supportive of assets
such as gold Gold’s perceived safe-haven qualities may make it an ideal asset
class to invest in regardless of the current economic cycle. Apart from being
seen as a safe haven in uncertain times, gold also has industrial uses in
electronic goods, which further diversifies its demand. The precious metal is
usually priced in U.S. dollars As mentioned previously, with inflation in many
global economies coming down, central banks in these regions have begun to
materially reduce interest rates. Most notably in September 2024, the U.S.
Federal Reserve made a 50-basis point cut, with the market anticipating further
cuts in the future. Given that gold is a non-yielding asset, the reduction in
interest rates will impact interest-bearing instruments adversely; as such, it's
possible investors may begin re-orienting their portfolio including toward gold,
further driving price increases

ZINGER KEY POINTS

 * Dogecoin celebrates its 11th anniversary on Dec. 6, 2024.
 * A look back at the meme coin's creation and how Elon Musk may have changed
   the interest and price forever.


Started as a joke in 2013, meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin DOGE/USD is now one of
the most valuable cryptos and enjoying a strong 2024 thanks to the sector seeing
valuations rise after the 2024 presidential election. As Dogecoin celebrates its
11th anniversary on Dec. 6, here's a look back at the coin's creation and how
much investors could have made following one of the key events in meme crypto
history What Happened: Dogecoin was created in 2013 by Jackson Palmer and Billy
Markus. The coin was meant to be satirical, mocking Bitcoin BTC/USD, but over
time, it has gained support from a loyal communit Palmer bought dogecoin.com and
connected with Markus, who had previous experience with altcoins, including
making a coin based on the Bells currency in the Animal Crossing video game. The
duo created the coin in just a couple hours, with Markus previously saying much
of the time on development was spent changing the font of the coin to Comic Sans
A profile for Dogecoin was created on Bitcointalk.org on Dec. 6, 2013. A
subreddit for Dogecoin (r/Dogecoin) was created on Dec. 8, 2013. The coin opened
for trading on Dec. 15, 2013

Dental supply maker Patterson Companies Inc PDCO announced Thursday that it is
exploring strategic options, including a sale or merger, to boost shareholder
value. The company disclosed the deal process as part of its second-quarter
financial report. EasyHotel is close to being sold. A billionaire-backed firm
called London & Regional Properties is bidding against a fund managed by Tristan
Capital Partners. The auction process is in its final stages, according to
Bloomber Ubisoft Entertainment SA UBSFF is in talks with Tencent Holdings ADR
TCEHY over a potential buyout. According to Reuters, the deal would allow
Ubisoft’s founders, the Guillemot family, to retain control if the company goes
private. This development follows a difficult year for Ubisoft, marked by staff
layoffs, disappointing sales, and the closure of several studios. Ubisoft’s
stock jumped 14% after news of the buyout discussions emerged, as per Benzinga
Pro Lightspeed Commerce Inc. LSPD is reorganizing. A majority of the
restructuring charges will be incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The
focus remains on “reducing the complexity of our business,” said Lightspeed
