Set Yourself Up To Let Compounding Work Its Magic [View article]
Eh, Jon. I'm used to it. I think the first comment I ever got from Vasool called me a cheerleader without any talent. With a first impression like that, why on earth would I ever want to respond to anything he says?

Dave,
Isn't it something how much calmer these dividend growth threads are than the others?
It's a beautiful thing when you can leverage a weakness (falling markets and net worth) and turn it into a strength (reinvested dividends, growing income stream).
Vlad, we went through this two or three months ago. i.e. my advice is a disaster waiting to happen, anyone who defends me is a fanboy, i shouldn't be allowed to give anyone advice, etc.
We're at the same place we were a couple months ago.
