97% of growth comes from this one investment – so why have you been ignoring it?

Here are some figures that may surprise you …

In a 2012 white paper by Eagle Asset Management, it was noted that:

“From 1871 through 2003, 97 percent of the total after-inflation accumulation from stocks came from reinvesting dividends. Only three percent came from capital gains.”

John Bogle, writing on the website IndexUniverse.com, writes the following:

“An investment of $10,000 in the S&P 500 Index at its 1926 inception with all dividends reinvested would by the end of September 2007 have grown to approximately $33,100,000 …. If dividends had not been reinvested, the value of that investment would have been just over $1,200,000 … an amazing gap of $32 million. Over the past 81 years, then, reinvested dividend income accounted for approximately 95% of the compound long-term return earned by the companies in the S&P 500.”

If you’re not already using the power of stock dividends to boost your profits … it’s not too late to start. And the best thing is that you don’t need a large investment fund to start collecting these payouts.

Hedge-fund manager James Hudson is giving small investors like us a leg-up in the world of dividend investing …

His technique spreadbets dividend-paying shares over the crucial pay-out period, collecting the dividend. But it doesn’t work on all shares – you need to follow James’ instructions on which to buy and when.
