Maybe I'm explaining it wrong....
- if I bought 1 stock on January 1, 2015 for $10
- then over the course of the year it goes up and on on December 31, 2015 the current price is $11.
- I guess this would mean my return is 10%, correct?
- then if the same stock pays a 3% dividend / year, then my total return is roughly 13%?
So I'm looking for calculator that I can enter my purchase date, the number of shares, and it will calculate the return based upon the current price, and dividend. However, I am not doing DRIP - just taking it as cash. I'm sure I'm probably off in my understanding, but that is what I'm trying to calculate.
