dividends are irrelevant for the following reason.

a) a noble prize was awarded to merton miller, who came up with this
maxim

b) if a company will issue dividends, it could just as well keep that
money and invest on its growth and/or expansion, which long term
compensates for the issuance of dividends. reinvesting the dividends

Dividends are NOT irrelevant. Over time, dividends that are re-
invested will return more than any stock strategy. Dividends RULE!!!

However, DIA is a better fund because it is more diversified, and
hence less likely to suffer from sectors downturns, such as the
financials and housing at the moment. Plus DIA yields a nice 2.1%,

compare this ETF with the dow jones (DIA) which yields less. you will
notice that DIA overshoots, why? because it yields less. dividends are
long term irrelevant.
