My question is regarding the dividends of a stock. A). Dividend payout - Let’s say stock A has a dividend period twice a year; usually is this payout fixed or usually they will announce?

Stock that I bought one year ago, are all losing in value, however I'm getting dividends from it. I intend to keep them for longer-term because I'm quite young. Do I hold, as observing all stocks, they tend to rebound back after some years?

For US stocks, should I go for dividend or growth stocks since there are 30% taxes for dividends? I intend to go for at least 3 months to 2 years. Any advice?

I would like to purchase my first stock for a dividend portfolio. Are there any dividend stocks or ETFs in SG worth holding for the long term (20-30 years)?

Most tech growth stocks have been taking a hit thus far this year, what is your outlook for the tech sector for the rest of this year and beyond?
