Question on Dividends

Hi Everyone,

As is about to become very apparent... I'm pretty new to this. (I've only been investing outside of index funds for about 2 months).

I've read a lot of people who are very focused on the dividend that a stock pays out and the math certainly makes sense over the long term. But am I missing something, or is the dividend payout minute compared to the (hoped for) capitol gains? I realize that the dividend is much more reliable and the last couple of months have been an incredibly easy time to invest, (jumping in at the bottom of a rally) but it's hard to get excited over a 2-3% dividend payout when stocks will go up 2-3%.

Am I just jaded because of how much stock shave gone up over the last couple months?
