Linda - Yahoo shows the current current yield of UU to be 12.15%, based on today's pps. UU is an ADR so the dividend is taxed at 15%. The 11.8% I quoted was a percentage of my basis. I track my dividend stocks this way so that, as interest rates rise, I can see the point where I could realize an equal or greater return by selling the stock and investing my basis, plus capitaL gains minus taxes, in a long muni.
In response to your question I can only show you the annual dividend in dollars:
2003 2.13
2002 1.57
2001 1.46
2000 1.48
1999 1.59
1998 1.42
