Apple is good investment, but long-term investors can take full advantage of dividend stocks by harnessing the power of compounding interest. The best way to do that is to sign up for a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) and direct stock purchase plan (DSPP), should the company offer it. This allows you to automatically reinvest your dividends. You can also purchase shares, fractional or whole, without the need of having to use a broker. Buy-and-hold stocks might not impress your friends, but it can be lucrative.
