A dividend is a portion of a company's earnings distributed to shareholders, often quarterly. Reinvesting dividends to buy more shares amplifies compounding over time. Qualified dividends are taxed at lower long-term capital-gains rates, while ordinary dividends are taxed as regular income.
Reinvesting dividends automatically buys more shares and accelerates long-term growth.
