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.
Qualified Dividends: For the purposes of calculating the dividend tax, ordinary dividends are for stocks held more than 60 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date.
