May 6, 2011 at 12:44 comment added Ralph Winters Both good comments. I was referring to the simple case in which you measure the return from point A to point B. Anyone know any chart sites which actual do the above?

Just accounting for dividends on the side will eventually have half stock / half cash and not truly reflect the compound growth of the stock.
May 6, 2011 at 2:06 comment added Havoc P To be super-correct you should adjust the dividends for time value of money (interest earned keeping the dividends invested after you get them) when doing this calculation, but it probably doesn't make a big difference unless it's over a long timespan. See also money.stackexchange.com/questions/8129/… on computing investment returns.
