I checked those for dividends for the past five years: AEM 0.69 / 58.96 = 1.1% ==> 390 * 1.011 = 394% BVN 1.26 / 37.62 = 3.3% ==> 240 * 1.033 = 248% GG 0.9154 / 43.54 = 2.1% ==> 205 * 1.021 = 209% GLD 0.0% ==> 180% ABX 1.74 / 42.80 = 4.0% ==> 88 * 1.04 = 92% NEM 2.00 / 55.70 = 3.6% ==> 48 * 1.036 = 49% GFI 0.924 / 13.48 = 6.9% ==> 30 * 1.069 = 39% Not particular significant for any of them over the five years except GFI which was the group's biggest laggard. For that particular set, the bigger dividend is the worse performer, in general (assuming I haven't made a mistake or type or keystroke error).
