Anyway, is there an online calculator, or formula that would allow me to figure out:

If I invested $10,000 in say Kinder Morgan (KMP) 10 years ago, and reinvested the dividends, where would my money be sitting today, and if this steady eddie were to continue on its path, where would my money be in 10 years, 20 years? Roughly speaking.

Also, I want to thank everyone who has contributed. This thread is an eye opener. Your honesty and openess is very much appreciated.

Tyler, welcome.. you are doing something about your future..most don't..

if you get passionate about it, it will reward you.. guys like Greg don't need to share. it is a giving back sort of thing..

Remember that they want you to think it is voodoo, or brain surgery.. They do not want you to have wealth..they being the bankers, wall street, the US government..

They want you needy..well Tyler, you are on the path to be needy no more..

then you get to the point where it does not matter who is President, or the state of china's economy, or europe, or at some point, even a Job..

Well done on chiming in...We will learn together..
