Per my usual morning... I'm watching CNBC and a guy comes on that had some interesting things to say about APPLE (AAPL). And as per usual - I (many times) will look up the guy just to see his background etc. It's standard for me to "check someone out" because what they have to say can be discounted or re-enforced IMHO depending on their credentials etc.
While poking around their website -- I found this interesting little tidbit and thought it "relevant" for Investing 102 education.
Historical studies show that dividends contribute one-third to one-half of the total return in the stock market over longer-term holding periods.
