Good thing i Drip all mine already.

You wouldn't accumulate any cash -- because all the dividend payout would be used to purchase additional shares.

The key to that is it's an accelerating vehicle... the more shares bought... the more dividend collected...buying more shares... paying more dividend and on and on. That's why it works!
