Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Mutual funds that favor companies with high dividend yields and/or steadily rising dividends beat the S&P 500 the past 15 years. That's good news for those investing for retirement and who've hitched their wagons to dividend funds. A $10,000 investment in the average dividend mutual fund on Dec. 31, 1999, would have ballooned to $25,127 by Feb. 3 this year. The same sum invested in the S&P 500 would have grown to $18,588 in that time, according to Morningstar Inc. data Regards, Ted http://license.icopyright.net/user/viewFreeUse.act?fuid=MTg5MzUzNTY=
