Editor’s Note: In this Chart of the Week, we’re giving you an overview of how reinvesting dividends can jump-start your portfolio. You may know the basics of dividend investing\u2026 but do you know how to turn it into a retirement business that can net you an extra $1,000 every week? For details, click here.<\/p>\n

It’s no secret: People love free stuff.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s a book, magazine or T-shirt\u2026 getting something for free just makes people feel good.<\/p>\n

And collecting \u201cfree money\u201d may just be the best feeling of all.<\/p>\n

That is precisely what a dividend payout is for investors. This week’s chart shows just how meaningful that \u201cfree money\u201d can be to your portfolio.<\/p>\n

Dividends are a great way to increase your income or jump-start your equity gains. Plus, they can help you reach your retirement goals.<\/p>\n

We’re not saying your portfolio should include only dividend-paying stocks. But you should be holding a fair share of them.<\/p>\n

Why? Because dividend-paying stocks can exponentially grow returns \u2013 especially if you’re reinvesting those dividend payouts.<\/p>\n

Dividends can turn an underperforming stock into one of your portfolio’s biggest gainers.<\/p>\n

[iu-adbox]<\/p>\n

We used Omega Healthcare Investors (NYSE: OHI) as an example for the chart above.<\/p>\n

If you had purchased 100 shares of Omega back in February 2007, you would be sitting on a nice 10-year return.<\/p>\n

Just the price change alone, during that time frame, would have given you an 80.93% gain. Plus, you would have received $1,686 in dividends.<\/p>\n

In all, you would be sitting on a gain of 174.39%, or $3,146 (not including your initial investment).<\/p>\n

That’s not a bad return.<\/p>\n

But if you had reinvested those dividend payouts, you would instead be sitting on a 257.55% return, or $4,646.25 (not including your initial investment).<\/p>\n

Now that would be a return worth bragging to your friends about.<\/p>\n

Plus, reinvesting dividends allows you to continue to increase your holding. During this 10-year period, you would have purchased an additional 97 shares, basically doubling your initial holding.<\/p>\n

And you did all of this without spending any money out of pocket. You just took advantage of the dividend payouts or \u201cfree money\u201d that you received.<\/p>\n

Even better\u2026 with dividend-paying stocks, a fall in stock price can actually be a good thing. It will let you reinvest the dividends to accrue even more shares.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, these income-generating assets have become increasingly popular in recent years. Dividends are so powerful that Marc Lichtenfeld, The Oxford Club’s Chief Income Strategist, has a monthly newsletter that focuses on them.<\/p>\n

At the moment, his Oxford Income Letter subscribers are enjoying many double- and triple-digit gains\u2026 all thanks to this simple, low-risk strategy.<\/p>\n

Just remember: The sooner you start reinvesting your dividends, the bigger your eventual return will be.
