13. What is a Dividend?
A distribution of a portion of a company's earnings, decided by the board of directors, to a class of its shareholders. The dividend is most often quoted in terms of the dollar amount each share receives (dividends per share). It can also be quoted in terms of a percent of the current market price, referred to as dividend yield.

14. Why do they matter?
A stock’s price is a valuation of the expected future cash flows.
Dividends are the return of cash (or earnings) to shareholders.
Important to invest in stocks that create shareholder value.
No dividends, no cash flows.
