The biggest problem I see is that discount brokers DO NOT REINVEST dividends. They put the cash into your account every quarter. If anyone has a discount broker that reinvests PLEASE clue me in. I see/saw the power of reinvested dividends with my mom growing her small shares in the original ATT as an employee and following through to the divestiture into "regional" telcos and the shares growing and growing and NOW she is taking the dividends as supplements to her pension which has not grown in 20 years of retirement.
