Hello. I have a question about dividends. I really appreciate the help.

I understand that on an ex-dividend date a stock price will generally be lower by the price of the upcoming dividend. Since this is the general rule (though I know it doesn't always work this way), what is the point of even investing in dividend stocks if any gain from the dividend will be canceled by the stock movement lower?
