Income as a driver of returns

Equity investments offer two sources of potential return: dividend income and price appreciation. Over the past 30 years, dividends have accounted for 45% of the total return from the Canadian equity market2 and 53% of the total return from the U.S. equity market3. This shows how dividend income can be a powerful driver of portfolio returns, which has been particularly true this year as equities in many regions are experiencing price declines.

So KHERSON__MOCKING Me For ""CHASING YIELD"" Does Seem to BE ""Out to Lunch"" eh

Red Deer The numbers of 45 percent of total return in Canada and 53 percent in the US you said were from dividends. What is the source of these numbers? The 30 year span included the 2007 meltdown, therefore they seem to be doubtful to me. In a number of cases I did well over 120% due to M&A, and my 7 figure portfolio is struggling to yield more than 7(seven ) percent annual income from

Red Deer, this does not reveal wher RBC obtained the figures from. I woul classify it as their opinion, or  as just heresay or un-verified data. Just like the old US president said: "I am from Missouri... show me!" . Or I could quote the former US preident R.Regan who said "Trust, but  Verify.

Red-Deer YOU dId not need to do "GENELOGICAL SEARCH, AS  I  AM NOT INTERESTED IN MY ANCESTERS, AND I THOUGHT WE WERE DISCUSSING, CREDIBLE FINANCIAL STATISTICS. Nonetheless you still did not provide any proof that  those figures came from either the CRA, in  Canada, or the IRS in the US., OR AN AGENCY THAT KEEPS THOSE AUDITED STATISTICS.   Since you made the claim that

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

Ead_Deer Clearly it is YOU WHO ARE MISINFORMED. For your benefi the Concise Oxford Dictionary we in Canad use in defining the proper use of words, shows that genealogical is an adjective, related to the study, or tracing of lines of family descent". It has nothing to do with finances, unlike you tried to assert. Just read the dictionary, it will help you, I think.
