"I used this months dividends to buy MCD earlier this week." This brings up a good point .. One may choose to reinvest dividends automatically in additional shares of the stock paying the dividends thru one's brokerage account that offers this service or via DRIPs .. Alternatively, once one has a diversified portfolio of dividend paying stocks, then you can 'sweep' the dividends monthly/quarterly, what have you, with the ability to reinvest/add to any stock that at the time presents an "accidental high yield" which most probably won't coincide with that stock's normal distribution date .. ie take advantage of "events" to enhance coumpounding ..
