Could any one help me to understand how stock dividends work? We have a $50000 annuity that pays my mother $147/month which is a big part of her livelihood. I don't really understand how dividends work, but if a stock has a dividend of $1 and a stock price of $10 and I bought her 5000 shares, would she get $5000 from dividends and when would she get it? quarterly $1250? Is there someplace I can go to see what stocks have a dividend? I appreciate any help I could get. Thanks
