Dividend income is a result of a company paying out money, preferably from earnings, to shareholders
- Dividend Income Rate = annual dividend by the current stock price
- The higher the dividend income, the more risk there is
- Right now, low interest rates affect payouts from all investments
- Average long term dividend income yield about 4.3%, It's 1.9% now with a minimum ever 1.11% in Aug 2000
- Before investing in anything ever, understand what you’re investing in, and how it is priced relative to historical prices.
