I'm thinking of buying some dividends in the banking sector

The other option is just invest in something more practical such as things that you always need.

Like batteries, Solar Panels and Ball Bearings.

Because i'm unsure what will happen if the banking collapses.

Do HSBC if you have balls. Dividend is high and they pay every quarter (3months). Most don't pay every month. REIT's are more likely to.

Alright. What about things with low risk such as Solar Panels and shit like that?

>>1346035
>low risk
>Solar Panels
pick one

Honestly a bank stock at risk of brexit is less risky than a solar stock.

Now what i don't understand is why? everyones buying them.

dividend investing is not my forte but in order to achieve a decent return on dividends alone you need to invest a ton of money into high dividend yield stock. I get the principle of compounding and DRIP funds, but still it takes so long for dividends to pay off and they only really reach their full potential if the gains are re-invested into more stock in order to acquire more dividends.

They are very low margin now, with the bulk of production in China. The major cost of going solar is now installation costs. Great if you are a solar roofer, bad if you sell solar panels.

Yeah, I looked at it recently.

You've gotta drop about 5,000 into it just to see a return of 700.

That's a shame, I'm assuming batteries are the same then? Like electric cars and shit like that.

friend, if the banking collapses, everything collapses

Well Tesla is building a gigantic factory so that they have a margin advantage.

This is my plan if I ever get a substantial amount of money. I'd the majority in something safe. But then the rest I'd go for high dividends.

Well, They don't really cost that much.

It's just a matter of dumping a small amount into them.

That's true, but I'm still a student so I've got a year or two before I start making any money.
