Blood clots sometimes form within prolapsed external hemorrhoids, causing an extremely painful condition called a thrombosis. If an external hemorrhoid becomes thrombosed, it can look rather frightening, turning purple or blue, and could possibly bleed.
Quarterly Payments. The most common frequency for dividend payments for American companies is quarterly. Dividends are declared and paid four times a year. Many companies make the dividend announcement along with the release of the quarterly earnings report and the dividend is paid a few weeks later.
A common stock dividend is the dividend paid to common stock owners from the profits of the company. Like other dividends, the payout is in the form of cash or other like stock. The law may regulate the size of the common stock dividend particularly when the payout is a cash distribution tantamount to a liquidation. Such cash dividends may serve the intent of defrauding creditors.
