I’m really confused about what happens when u invest in a stock or mutual fund but the company doesnt pay the dividend and uses that money to reinvest it.

How does the stock or mutual fund holder benefit.
Is he or she making any money after the end of the year without selling the stock or mutual fund? Do they get any kind of payout?
I read and introduction to investing article on Investopedia and they got into "compounding". I understand that concept but when does that apply to stocks and mutual funds?

When one buys a stock, he/she owns a part of that company. hence the profits should be split appropriately between all share holders, right? But I only hear about pleople trading to make quick profits, not hanging on to a stock to sit back and collect income on it. But sharholders dp receive significant dividends annually right? I realize corporations retain some profit in some kinds of back up fund, but any owner of a stock does receive profit annually, right?

Buying a selling stock to get dividends?

The day before the ex date the stock goes down in order to counteract the dividend. If you buy the stock say a week before the dividend and sell it the day after you will get the dividend when it is issued, correct? So could you buy before the ex date and then sell after and keep doing that with different companies and just collect dividends?
