The Synthetic Dividend Option To Generate Profits / Personal_Finance / Options & Warrants
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Many companies regularly distribute a portion of their profits in the form of a dividend to attract investors and incentivize them to remain long-term shareholders. But most companies, ETFs, and commodities don’t pay a dividend at all.
