Dividends is good!!!

If I like the stock at $25 I will love it at $18. By dollar cost averaging and reinvesting the quarterly payouts I have realized a better return. Dividend stocks and funds are the best long term equity vehicle for investors.

Wondering out loud. Has anyone written an article to take into account 2008 and beyond? Here's my reasoning. China will be hosting the Olympics and is currently putting on its happy face. After the Olympics they will probably get more aggressive on the world stage.

Does this factor scare anyone else for the economy, housing, markets, wars, etc.? Would love to hear thoughts?

Disclaimer: The idea of China and the Olympic thing is not my idea, someone else on FR mentioned it but it has gnawed at me for a long time and seemed very relevant. Hat tip to ? for being so forward looking.
