Hey Cash Canuck – DGI is correct – it is the yield on the SPY, which tracks the S&P 500. My thinking is that if I am going to buy a dividend stock, then perhaps it should have a yield greater than that of the market, otherwise I could just buy an index which has less risk.

Cash Canuck,

I am not TDG, but I believe that by SPY dividend yield is think he refers to the dividend yield on the Exchange Traded Fund with ticker SPY, which tracks the S&P 500 index in the USA.

Thanks Dividend Guy, I didn’t realize McGraw-H was an achiever and an aristocrat. But I’ve been keeping an eye on them for a while now. Good for diversification, too.

Well done, Dividend Guy. I thoroughly enjoy these analyses, especially ones that turn out like this one does.

Ummmm… though I may appear uninformed, what is SPY dividend yield? Also, what is relative P/E?
