As is well known, America's stock market issues cash dividends!

Profitable businesses tend to pay dividends to investors after each fiscal quarter's financial settlement.

Why are Americans so keen on trading stocks, without the habit of saving money?

It's because their wealth is in the stock market—stocks not only offer the potential for capital gains but also provide cold hard cash through dividends!

Ahem—, as a star company in Silicon Valley, Byte Company, of course, follows the tradition of paying quarterly dividends.

For a business, paying dividends can attract more investors and also enhance shareholder returns.
