Why don’t more young investors have dividend positions? There are so many pros about having a position like this - you start early building that position - compounding start starts a lot earlier - passive income will show sooner I don’t get it

They want the big money now and think Dividend investing is for 60 year olds.. The magic thing about dividend investing is the compounding. Let it compound 30-40 years. Look at Coca cola for Berkshire Hataway when they finished their position in 1994 (picture). The portfolio value with the same initial investment would be 1.8 billion less than S&P500, but the annual dividends is more than double of the S&P. and the Yield is also much higher. Every single year Berkshire earns 477 million dollar more than S&P dividends per year by just holding the investment.

So again, though, dividends per se do not provide any extra "compounding." There's no "magic." The same compounding would happen without the dividend. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/OptimizedPort/status/2…
