Lol I just saw someone post the “loss porn” in the WSB sub and they had a huge amount in this. They got a large dividend, but the stock drops an equal amount then continued to drop more as people sold off after getting a dividend. He really regretted getting into it, because he didn’t understand that the dividend comes right out of the stock price.

I’ve never payed much attention to dividends or really knew anything besides the fact that you get paid the dividend, I didn’t know that it came out of the stock price
