What Does Reinvesting
Dividend Mean?
There are many reasons to choose dividend investing over taking cash, and I’ll cover the reason here. With each dividend stock you own, you will receive a dividend payment that’s paid every quarter. You don’t have to invest the dividends to the same stocks you already invested in. Having dividends paid out to your brokerage account give you the option to buy other dividend growth paying stocks that might be in the value territory. However, if you feel like purchasing the same stock that’s paying the dividends, that’s totally fine as well. By having the dividend reinvested in dividend paying stock will result you to own more shares of the chosen stocks in your portfolio. It is the easiest and cheapest ways to increase your holdings over time. To illustrate this, let me give you an example scenario. Let’s say you own 1,000 shares of Altria Group Inc. (Ticker: MO) that you purchase at $50 per share. Let’s then assume that Altria Group Inc. pays an annual dividend of $5 per share which will result you to receive $5,000 in dividends (1,000 shares x $5 per share) in the first year. If you decide to use the dividends of $5,000 to be reinvested in Altria Group Inc. at the same purchase price of $50 (price usually fluctuate). This would result you to own 1,100 shares of Altria Group Inc. (Ticker: MO) in your portfolio. Towards the upcoming year, if Altria Group Inc. pays the same dividend of $5 per share. You would receive $5,500 in dividends (1,100 shares x $5 per share) a year after purchasing 100 shares of Altria Group Inc. with the dividends that’s paid out. This shows that having your dividends reinvested in the stock you are holding will increase the amount of shares as well as an increase of dividend payment to your portfolio. However, results could be much better if your stock increase is capital value as well increases its dividends every year.

Reinvesting Dividends
Will Result Significant Difference Result in the Long Run.
Having dividends you receive to be reinvested in your dividend growth portfolio is a good approach to a long term investment strategy. By reinvesting your dividends, you can accelerate the power of long-term compounding in your investment account. With the power of compound interest, your dividend growth portfolio would result significantly better compared to not reinvesting your dividends. By plowing dividend income back into high quality dividend paying stocks, investors may meaningfully increase their annual returns and total assets. Recent studies shows that when you have a portfolio of $10,000 in the S&P 500 index fund from the year of 1960 to 2017 will give you significant different result when you have the portfolio reinvested compared to not having dividend reinvested. I have provided a picture graph comparing the result when you have dividend reinvested and when you don’t reinvest the dividend. When you don’t reinvest the dividends, your $10,000 S&P 500 index fund portfolio would result you to have $460,095 in the year of 2017. This is a huge gain to your portfolio value, having your portfolio to multiply close to 46 times (4600%). However, when you have the dividend received reinvested regularly, your $10,000 S&P 500 index fund portfolio would result you to have $2,571,920 in the year of 2017. That’s a difference of $2,111,825 in the ending balance if you have the portfolio’s dividend reinvested. When you have the portfolio to have dividend reinvested will result you to multiply your ending balance close to 257 times (25,700%) from its original starting balance in the year of 1960. From this research, this proves that reinvesting dividends is a strategic investment move if you are planning to hold your portfolio long term. It will give you an enormously different final result when you decide to reinvest your dividends since the extra cash (dividends received) being reinvested can mean huge difference over a decade or more of compounding.

Reinvesting Dividends
Can Turn a Slow Growth Company Into a Better Investment.
There is a research proves that reinvesting dividends to your slow growth company could result you to have a better investment performance. In the book “The Future for Investors” by Jeremy J. Siegel showed an interesting statistic by one of the professor. The book stated that between 1950 and 2003, IBM (Ticker: IBM) grew its revenue by 12.19% per share, dividends at 9.19% per share, earnings per share of 10.94% and sector growth of 14.65%. At the same time, Standard Oil of New Jersey which is currently part of Exxon Mobile now had revenue per share growth of only 8.04%, dividend per share growth of 7.11%, earnings per share growth of 7.4%, and sector growth that is negative 14.22%. Comparing these facts, which company would you prefer to invest in 1950? The answer may surprise you. If you have invested $1,000 in IBM in 1950, your $1,000 would only grow to $916,000 while the same amount invested in Standard Oil would result you to have $1,260,000 which is approximately $300,000 more even when the oil company’s stock only increased by 120 times during this period, and IBM stocks had increased by 300 times. The performance difference comes from those insignificant dividends that people underestimate. Despite the much better per share price appreciation of IBM stocks, the investor who bought Standard Oil and reinvested their cash dividends would have accumulated over 15 times the number of shares they started with while the IBM investor would only acquire 3 times their original amount. This demonstrates that even when a company have better operating performance, the price you purchase the stock is equally important as well.

Reinvesting Dividend
is Great Investment Opportunity During Market Turmoil.
The benefit of owning a dividend growth portfolio is that you are still able to receive dividend even when the market is going down. I like the fact that the dividend receive is like having real excess money coming in your pocket. With the available cash coming in to you, you are able to use the opportunistic bear market to purchase more shares in high quality dividend growth stocks. As Warren Buffett advice “you should be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful.” What he meant by this is that you should be careful when stock market has gone up too much (Bull Market) since companies might be overvalued, and to instead take the opportunity to purchase stocks when there is a down market (Bear Market). During bad market, there are many great stocks with strong fundamentals that are trading at a discount. You want to use this opportunistic time to accumulate more dividend growth stocks with the dividends that are paid out to you. You will benefit from the high starting dividend yield the stock pay out. I’m not worried about upcoming market crash, since I’m prepared to invest more of my money during this opportunistic time. A Bear Market can be a buying opportunity for investor to invest in dividend growth stocks. I personally love when the stock market is going down. This enables me to purchase my favorite dividend stocks at a much cheaper price. When the stock price is low, I’m able to accumulate more stock shares in my portfolio that have a great dividend starting yield. However, I will still need to cautious with the fundamental of the company before investing. You don’t want to invest in the stocks that are value trap which can cost you to lose your investment principle.
