Hi Clive, Re: Dividend Yield over history and the current situation........
Clive and I have been discussing this over on the AIM-UK thread for a while. Good reading for those of you interested in seeing how deeply we've traveled down this particular rabbit hole. The discussion starts here: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=35825347 and there's a series of posts and graphs that follow.
My part in the discussion related to Value Line's 1700 stock universe rather than the Dow 30.
