WallStreetDaily. (Dividends). "Be An Investor, Not a Trader":

Yes, there’s a difference. The allure of dividend stocks is the steady stream of income they provide. And, as I’ve shown before, dividends account for a whopping 90% of total returns. However, to reap such rewards we need to invest for the long haul. (If we select properly – i.e., buy only the highest quality companies that have a history of raising their dividends each year – we might never have to sell shares.) So if you don’t plan to own a dividend stock for at least a year, don’t bother.
