Stock dividends can be deceptive.

If you receive a 5 percent dividend, what do you actually receive? One share for every 20 owned. The number of shares goes up, but the enterprise value has not changed.

Think pizza. If you buy a personal-sized pizza, how many slices would to have if you eat the whole thing? It does not matter. You ate one pizza.

"Someone said it takes 30 years to be an instant success" - Gabriel Barbier-Mueller, CEO of Harwood International
