For example, re-investing dividends, employee stock purchase plan, or regular contributions to your portfolio? Is it still easy to computer the average ROR?

I'm just getting into understanding my IRA/401K portfolio and this is one of the clearest explanations of how to calculate average annual returns I've read. Talking to our financial people only gave me a headache! Great article.
