Last week we busted the dividend myth. Today, let's talk about what actually works: total return strategy 🚀 The numbers don't lie: 🔵 Dividends contributed only ~1/3 of total equity returns since the 1960s 🔵 S&P XXX averaged XXXX% annually since 1957 (when reinvesting dividends) 🔵 Pure dividend strategies consistently underperform total return approaches Here's the breakthrough insight: instead of hunting dividend stocks, invest in growth companies and create your own "dividends" by selling 3-4% annually 🤯 Why this works better: 🌏 Companies reinvesting profits grow faster than those paying them out 🌍 You control WHEN you need income (tax optimization) 🌎 You enjoy the full compound effect of exponential growth Real example: $100k invested in growth-focused index funds historically becomes much more than the same amount in dividend-focused stocks over XX years. The compound effect is like a snowball rolling downhill: every year it gets bigger and faster. Dividend payments interrupt this process by forcing you to restart smaller snowballs 😅 In Southeast Asia, we're seeing this principle in crypto too. Projects focused on building utility (like what we do at @terminus_pos by enabling seamless payments) often outperform those just distributing tokens to holders 💚 Are you team "steady dividends" or team "let it compound"?

Here's the breakthrough insight: instead of hunting dividend stocks, invest in growth companies and create your own "dividends" by selling 3-4% annually 🤯
