RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:KHERSON,,,,,,,Dividends VS Capital Gains..........Hello Reddeer , l fully concur with your views about the importance of dividends , reinvested , over time.Bttmfischer is wrong as far as l am concerned over this one.I have many books on investing and business in both the USA and Canada and l have read in numerous of them how since the 1950 s that dividends represent as much as 60% of total market returns.Some of these books are a decade of , some are 40 plus years old.I will stick with you on this one and l am more than happy with my portfolio growth usng the same strategy you employ.Blue Chip companies in Financials , Utilities , O and G and a small weighting in Big Tech.
