Total return of stocks/funds vs. share/nav price change?

Question

So I've been looking at some stock returns on Google Finance, and comparing dividend-producing stocks seems kind of pointless. All the sliding graph is telling me is the nav/share price change, which doesn't reflect total return (i.e. share price change dividends). Some funds' NAVs hardly change because they are explicitly dividend-returning funds (like Vanguard Wellington), so comparing them against a small dividend returning fund using this tool makes no sense.

Is there an easy comparison tool out there to compare total returns of various stocks/funds?

Answer 1

I believe Barron's covers this in their quarterly issues that focus on mutual fund performance.

Otherwise each fund's prospectus will indicate total returns.
