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.
Dividends. Dividend payments on bond funds are paid on a per-share basis rather than on a dollar basis. If a fund paid a dividend of $0.50 per share, a bondholder who bought 1,000 shares in the fund at $20 per share would receive $500 in dividend income.
