I'm not sure I'm addressing your question, There are high end software accounting programs that suggest there is: A taxation rate associated with investments held beyond twelve months, as in capital gains treatment. Just sayin. Bob

"and that because of that, dividends do not produce Total Return" This has been hashed out about a million times, yet over any meaningful time period, the facts never change. The longer the time frame, the better, which is why I started my grandsons out when they were born. There are lots of arguments, but I have yet to see one that explains why the research is wrong.

<"Share price appreciation is where profit comes from, not from receiving dividends."> Yes, but to bank that profit, you have to sell the good shares in a good company that made those profits available... almost all of my divvy paying stocks also make "profit" from cap gains on top of the dividends paid... with DGI stocks, I get cap gains AND dividends that go up, almost guaranteed every year -- at least the ones I have do.
