Contrarians, rejoice: Last year’s most beaten-down stocks are among the biggest winners this year. And investors are buying them to chase the rally. But nothing’s changed, professional investors say. U.S. large-cap stocks that pay a dividend remain as attractive as they have been over the past year.
Peery says that over the past 30 years, which includes nearly all types of markets and economic conditions, the price appreciation of the S&P 500 is close to 1,000%. When dividends are factored in, the gain is over 2,000%, he says. That shows that historically, dividends have been more than the returns of the capital appreciation. In other words, dividends are important for building wealth.
