1 Share of coke worth millions/Reinvested dividends


The following is about the power of reinvested dividends

Dividends are paid in the form of cash or more shares to shareholders of a company

To reinvest your dividends means to take all dividends and then use them to buy more shares and over time you greatly increase the amount of shares you own. More shares = more dividends = more shares and so on.  All this is accomplished without putting any more money in unless you want to add outside funds anyway.

I recommend adding more funds over time through a payment plan it could even be as little as $50 per month. 

The article referenced below explains that 1 share of coke (Ticker KO) if purchased in 1919 at $40 with all dividends reinvested would be worth 9.8 million in 2012.

There are plenty of ways to achieve your goals in finance.  Patient investing can pay off if done right.


These are my thoughts and opinions you have to find what works best for you.
