Dividend paying stocks have been on a decline - I mean ... the yield, of course. With interest rate around the world seems to remain low for at least until 2014, we could see people rushing for yield to get their returns and this would ultimately lead to yield compression. Remember during the GFC time when some yield on stocks would represent 20 - 25%? Now it is nowhere even half near that high. What we are looking at now is only between the range of 5 - 6% at best.
