Cash Dividend
Money paid to stockholders, normally out of the corporation's current earnings or accumulated profits. All dividends must be declared by the board of directors and are taxable as income to the recipients. Investopedia Says:
Long-term investors who want to maximize their gains should consider reinvesting the dividends. Most brokers offer a choice as to whether you wish to reinvest or take cash dividends. Related Terms:
