Why reinvesting stock dividends is an easy way to super-charge your returns
Here is InvestingClubmailbag@cnbc.com Club Mailbag E -Post – So you send your questions directly to Jim Cramer and Analyst team. We cannot offer personal investment advice. We will discuss more general questions about the stocks in the investment process or portfolio or related industries. The question of this week: I am a member of the guidance of the club and Cramer for many years and I have benefited greatly from the help. My question is: Should a dividend re -investment strategy be considered as a possible compound part of a portfolio? – Thanks John from Illinois. We always recommend investors to participate in dividend re -investment plans or briefly drop, because these are controversially the easiest way to achieve the incredible benefit of compound interest. (We do not re -invest the dividends in the CNBC Investment Club portfolio, because dividends and clear earnings are given to the charity. Instead of buying $ 1 as cash dividend from Stock XYZ, an investor who chose to take drops would receive $ 1 XYZ stock. Drips can be paid as fractional shares. Creating a dividend re -investment plan does not apply to investors who rely on dividends for passive income required to cover regular expenses. Indeed, those who need money in the near term should avoid depositing this money into a variable as much as stocks. However, for most everyone, the compound is a great way to passively work for their own benefits. More active investors may prefer to buy cash – they will not be able to claim that they can get this money and see where they can invest and where they can invest. However, we prefer to see that the dividends are re -investing because it is passive and your money works in something you love – otherwise, why investing in this stock – contrary to having a slow growing cash pile that you can forget. In our opinion, a drop of default will benefit more for more investors. Going to a more passive route is particularly useful for long -term investors who cannot open their accounts frequently. After all, it can be harmful to constantly check your account, especially if you think you should always act. To quote the late Charlie Munger, the deceased right -hand man for Warren Buffett for decades for decades, said, “Not in buying big money or sale, not on sale.” Considering this, let’s run some numbers and look at the benefits of re -investing dividers. For the 10 years that ended on December 31, 2024, the spy, which was the largest S&P 500 stock exchange fund, had a cumulative price return of 185%except dividends. When the dividends returned to the spy they came as part of a drip, EFT realized a total cumulative return of 239%. This is a big difference.
