Let’s go back to 2015. Some guy had $10000.00 to invest. He put it all into Company Carnival Corporation & plc (CCL). It wasn’t the hottest stock or a trendy name - it was a good, solid company he felt confident about. He invested his money and just left it. Over the 10 years that followed, Company Carnival Corporation & plc (CCL) had its ups and downs - and continued to steadily thrive and grow - and along the way, the patient investor began quietly being rewarded.
What made the real difference was dividends being reinvested and not selling the stock during stock splits. Every dividend was used to purchase additional shares. When Company Carnival Corporation & plc (CCL) stock split, the investor received additional shares without spending a single additional penny.
