The Secret to Superior Returns

by

Many people are surprised to learn that dividend income and reinvestment can account for nearly 90% of total stock market returns over time.

That's right. Not a quarter… Not half… But 90%.

That's why placing a high priority on dividends in the Money Map Report's proprietary 50-40-10 Strategy is paramount to its success.

Unfortunately, this goes counter to the inclinations of far too many investors. They spend the bulk of their time chasing "the next hot stock" or searching for the next "sure thing."

No doubt we all love the elation that goes with being up 25%, 50%, 100%, or more.

Don't get me wrong, though. I'll take gains like that too – and we get more than our fair share in the Money Map Report model portfolio.

Yet, when it comes to consistently growing and protecting our money, I'd rather focus on getting the cold, hard cash that dividends kick off. That's because I know those are a much bigger component of overall investment returns over time.

I point this out because what most people fail to realize is that successful investing is a matter of continuous performance – not instantaneous performance.
