"If one holds a number of shares in a particular company, say BP, should you receive a dividend"
Whether a company pays a dividend is solely at the discretion of that company (I think)
BUT If a dividend IS paid, then an amount "per share/stock" held will be paid to ALL shareholders
So, if they paid a dividend of 2p and you had 1,000 shares, you'd get £20
