The Power of Dividend Reinvestment
Without Reinvesting:
- $10,000 at 4% yield = $400/year
- After 20 years: Still $400/year
With Reinvesting (DRIP):
- $10,000 at 4% yield
- After 20 years: $800+/year! (dividends compound!)
Good Dividend Yields (2025)
- 2-3%: Average for S&P 500
- 3-5%: Solid dividend stocks
- 5-7%: High yield (check if sustainable)
- 7%+: Very high yield (often risky - investigate carefully!)
Warning: A very high yield might signal problems. Always check if the dividend is sustainable!
