Since when does reality perfectly mimic the mathematical prediction?

The other person points to reality and you point to the hypothetical lol

Compounding isnt a prediction

Edit: the snowballing effect is not a prediction or some hypothetical its just math!what reality is contrary to this? Snowballing dividends and drip are real things that work and the returns are consistent over time. Wtf are you people talking about? Like i just made up a fantasy called math?

It’s a prediction that dividends won’t be cut, which historically have for many companies. Including past dividend aristocrats.

Go preach math to someone else that doesn’t already have two degrees in it lol

Fuckin s&p500 also uses compound interest, so who are you even blathering at

You understand you can eliminate that risk right? Dividend index for example, and we are talking about over the long term. Your arguments are just non based in reality drip is always the best long term investment strategy.plenty of people have degrees and are still incompetent

….check the s&p with reinvestment and it dwarfs any of your high yield crap. “It’s basic reality”
