  • Dividends: The Secret to Long-Term Returns [View article]
    I would add that, even despite the 7.23% (assuming I did the math correctly) reduction in SPY's year-over-year dividend, I still do concur with the premise of the article; that dividends are a significant long-term driver of positive investment returns.

  • Dividends: The Secret to Long-Term Returns [View article]
    Adding to the comments above concerning companies cutting dividends. I do not currently own any financial stocks, but several of the non-financial dividend stocks I do own have recently cut their dividends substantially. Somewhat less anecdotally, SPY's dividend fell 2007-Q4 to 2008-Q4 from $0.7754 to $0.7193.
