Morningstar's Josh Peters on recent market volatility, dividend-stock valuations, and some dividend-payers that have come through in tough times. For the short-term trader, a rising market certainly gives you an opportunity to score some quick gains, but for the long-term investor who perhaps is adding additional money over time or even just reinvesting his or her dividends, higher prices are not necessarily going to improve your long-run result. The way I like to think of it, calls back to some studies that Jeremy Siegel had done, which showed that 97% of the total long-term return from stocks, the real return after inflation, had come from reinvesting dividends.
