Financial Siblings

My wife and I have two sons at home, 2.5 years old and 9 months old.  Even at these young ages, we can see how different these two boys are.  They look different and behave differently; they eat differently and sleep differently; they laugh differently and cry differently.  Two brothers, same family, each unique in their own way.   

I myself have two siblings, a brother, and a sister.  Each of us three years apart in age, me being the youngest.  We each have our different strengths and weaknesses.  We have our own unique experiences and perspectives.  Again, the same family, but all very different.   

This reality is not unique to just me or my family.  Since the beginning of time, families have been populated with a diverse set of individuals.  From Cain and Able to the Kardashians.   

Can you relate?  How about you and your siblings – Similar? Different?  

Today on TOM, I’d like to discuss two financial siblings that I am sure you are quite familiar with – Stock Prices and Dividends.  These are two financial metrics that are of the same family but tend to behave and look quite different from one another.
