Chuzzlewit, If you insist on adding dividends, do it on the basis of dividend yield, and simply add it to the growth rate. You're making a lot of assumptions about how future dividends will grow, but I don't think it makes much difference because the yields are so small. This will only work if the yields are vanishingly small, in which case nothing matters. The dividend is not really part of the growth rate of earnings. It would be better, IMO, to do as you suggested first and ignore the very small dividends. -musea
