Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good dividend yield?

For US stocks, 2 to 4% is typical for established dividend payers. Above 5% can signal higher risk or a declining stock price. REITs and MLPs often yield 4 to 8%. The best dividend strategy focuses on yield PLUS growth, not just the highest yield.

Should I reinvest dividends or take cash?

If you do not need the income now, reinvesting (DRIP) is almost always better. Reinvested dividends buy more shares, which generate more dividends, creating a compounding snowball. Over 20 to 30 years, reinvested dividends can account for more than half of total returns.
