Do I Have Your Attention Now?

For the last couple of years, nothing has been considered more of a square approach to investing than buying stocks for dividends. There was so much easy money being made in the stock market that nobody, including Grandpa, wanted to use Grandpa’s approach to investing.

According to NYU Stern School of Business, from 1960 to 2024, a $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 would have grown to $982,000 based solely on the rise in share price.

However, if dividends were reinvested along the way, the return would be $6.42 million.

This has a few lessons, including holding for the long term and having patience. On that score, there are amazing opportunities for life-changing scores in the right individual names, and I believe those windfalls change lives, but you can change your life and your children’s fortunes on this track.
