    This is definitely an interesting time for the world economy. This is the first big down market I’ve experienced since I really started socking away as much money as I could. (I started around the end of the tech bubble and I only had a few grand saved after September 11th). So this is very eye opening for me. I’m still taking the long term approach and investing for retirement - which is still about 30 years for me. I plan on continuing to invest with dollar cost averaging via my company’s 401(k) plan. Since I’m investing for the long term, I don’t mind if the depressed market hangs around awhile (more asset accumulation on my end). However, I understand a lot of people need the money for retirement now, so for their sake I hope it rebounds. I still have plenty of time to build a nest egg!

    Thanks for the mention. :)

    These are really tough times for investors. But it is in tough times when your course of action should be to be a contrarian and ignore all the great depression mumbo jumbo. Instead purchase some good quality dividend stocks at depressed prices.

    I’m wondering if anyone knows of an online calculator where you could put the following in:
    Stock price
    Shares
    Dividends
    Dividend Growth

    So you could calculate what the dividends might be 10-20 years down the road if they company stays true with their dividend growth strategy. Of course an even better calculator would allow DRIPs so you can see that company ABC is selling for $20 a share and has a 3% dividend yield. Their growth rate for the past 10 years is 8%.

    If I buy x shares now, what will my dividends be in 10 years if I continually reinvest the dividends?
