Dividend reinvestment program...

Some companies provide dividends, you can choose to recieve the dividend in cash, or you can choose to reinvest the dividend back into the company stock. I own several stocks that pay dividends and always choose dividend reinvestment.

The logic? Each dividend paying stock position will grow to earn more dividends. Over time, it can generate a large amount of income.

My recent dividends:
Taxable: 02/01/07
Boston Properties: $6.08 (purchased .0549 shares)
General Growth Properties: $18.00 (purchased .2943 shares)
S&P Index fund: $15.85 (purchased .1099 shares)

Retirement Dividends:
General Growth Properties: $18.00 (purchased .2943 shares)
S&P Index fund: $15.85 (purchased .1099 shares)

It may not seem like much, but when viewed on a larger scale, the reinvestment of dividends can lead to great things!

Until next time,
Thor
