Are Dividends the same as a stock? I know what they do but lets say if i buy 500 dividends directly from?

That would give me 500 shares correct?

so if the day came id be able to sell those 500?


Answer:
Dividends are not the same as stock. You must a stock in a company that offers a dividend. So if you own 500 shares of stock in a company then they may pay you a dividend for each share you own. Not all companies pay a dividend though.
