7 Cash Rich Stocks Offering Stingy Dividends

Franklin resources returned $1,000,000 for every $1,000 invested
during an 18 year period for the great '80's - '90's bull market. It was the most successful stock of those years. It is far better to let them handle the money than to pass out a few paltry dollars here and there. Put ten or twenty shares in your Roth IRA, reinvest those small dividends, let Franklin do what it does best and you should have a wonderful return in twenty five years.

Cramer's Stop Trading! Bull Run (3/23/09)

Franklin Resources - symbol BEN - turned a $1,000 investment into $1,000,000 over an 18 year period during the great bull market of the '80's - '90's. And that was before they had gone into China and India. It was the most successful stock at that time period. Putting 5-10 shares in a Roth Ira, reinvesting dividends, not looking at it for the next 20 to 30 years, not worrying, might provide a very interesting lump sum at retirement. "Many a mickle can make a muckle." (Old North Yorkshire saying coined by Joseph Addison during a financially bleak period.)
