Congratulations, what a number. The Nasdaq index compromises many growth stocks, more than the Dow Jones did.
That's also one of the reasons why the index is well-know for technology and innovation firms.
But the technology sector isn't particularly known for finding good dividends. Indeed, many of the most exciting technology stocks don't pay a dividend at all.
Assuming they're profitable (an assumption that doesn't always hold), technology companies often funnel their cash back into their business rather than pay shareholders a dividend.
You may also like my articles related to technology dividend stocks. There are a few great ideas in it. Cash, innovations and growth are main topics.
Today I would like to celebrate the 5,000 mark by highlighting some of the highest yielding stocks from the index.
