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 dividend is allocated as a fixed amount per share, with shareholders receiving a dividend in proportion to their shareholding. For the joint stock company, paying dividends is not an expense; rather, it is the division of after tax profits among shareholders.
