My wife and I have two sons at home, 2.5 years old and 9 months old.\\xa0 Even at these\\xa0young ages, we can see how different these\\xa0two\\xa0boys\\xa0are.\\xa0 They look different and behave differently; they eat differently and sleep differently; they laugh differently and cry differently.\\xa0\\xa0Two\\xa0brothers, same family, each unique in their own way.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

I\\xa0myself\\xa0have two siblings, a brother, and a sister.\\xa0 Each of us three years apart\\xa0in age, me being the youngest.\\xa0 We each have our different strengths and weaknesses.\\xa0 We have our\\xa0own unique experiences and perspectives.\\xa0 Again, the same family, but all very different.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

This reality is not unique to\\xa0just\\xa0me or my family.\\xa0 Since the beginning of time,\\xa0families have been populated with a diverse set of individuals.\\xa0 From Cain and Able to\\xa0the Kardashians.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

Can you relate?\\xa0 How about you and your siblings \\u2013\\xa0Similar? Different?\\xa0\\xa0

Today on TOM, I\\u2019d like to discuss two financial siblings that I am sure you are quite familiar with \\u2013\\xa0Stock\\xa0Prices\\xa0and Dividends.\\xa0 These are two financial metrics that\\xa0are\\xa0of the same family but tend to behave and look quite different from one another.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0
