E_K_S,

I read a Credit Suisse Global Investment Returns research paper, which showed that a $1 invested in US Equities in 1900 grew to $600 by the year 2000 when dividends were reinvested. When the investor relied solely on the capital gains, the $1 grew to approximately $10. I was shocked by the difference! For comparison, if you had invested in bonds you would have had approximately $6.

Personally, I have been underestimating the compounding power of dividends.
