DIVIDEND YIELD
•Dividend yield is a way to measure how much cash flow you are getting for each
dollar invested in an equity position - in other words, how much "bang for your buck"
you are getting from dividends. Investors who require a minimum stream of cash flow
from their investment portfolio can secure this cash flow by investing in stocks paying
relatively high, stable dividend yields.
