Once again I am amazed/amused by the power of compounding. I bought DE in 2013 and a little more in 2014. In 2021, I trimmed a little more than my initial investment leaving me with just my returns from dividends and growth. I trimmed a little more today for total sales of 185% of my initial investment and still sitting on a balance over double that of my original investment amount.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
