Considering how much value the funds lost this year, it is a drop in the bucket.
But dividends are still pleasant.
If the stock market goes up and my value is to increase $800 in one day - that does not have much effect on my mood since I know it will be down tomorrow again and that gain is not "real" (though loss does feel real).
But something that increases the number of shares I have(I elect to reinvest) feels more real.
Dividend time - $440
