Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t dividend kind of pointless? The amount of dividend that is paid out is also decreased from the share price. For example you get 1% dividend then the share price decreases with 1% and you have to pay tax so I don’t get it.

@FinanceWolf_ You also pay taxes if you have invested in Acc ETFs, at least in Germany. So there is not much difference anymore.

•@DividendFocus I get that but what I mean is why invest in dividend stocks when the dividend paid is deducted from the share price. I’m wondering if dividends even make sense

@FinanceWolf_ doesn’t mean the share price is constantly dropping mate. It’s not one or the other. There are a lot well run and managed companies who are able to pay dividends and increase the companies value, hence increasing the stock price
