Dividend Stocks: It takes longer to acquire the Dividend

Dividend stocks are stocks that pay out a portion of the company's profits to the shareholders on a regular basis. These are usually stocks of big, established companies.

The reason it takes a lot of money to buy dividend stocks is that these are considered "safe" investments. Investors are willing to pay a higher price for these stocks because they provide a steady stream of income (the dividends) and tend to be less risky than other types of stocks.

As for why it takes longer to recover your investment in dividend stocks, it's because the returns on these stocks are generally lower than more volatile, high-growth stocks. Dividend stocks are focused on providing consistent income rather than rapid capital appreciation.

So, if you invest in a dividend stock, you won't see your money double or triple in a short period of time like you might with a riskier, high-growth stock. The trade-off is that dividend stocks are more stable and provide a reliable source of income over the long run. But it means your investment will grow more slowly compared to more aggressive stock picks.
