I'm probably missing something here. I just got robinhood, and I put down 500 to play with. I don't want to be a day trader I just want to invest into secure stocks that pay solid dividends. Why would I want to pay 200 dollars for a single share and get a 1.2 dollar dividend, when I can buy a cheaper stock and more shares for a comparable dividend but get more for $. Why does stock price matter in this case?
Dividends x amount of shares is how much you will make..
