Looking at the universe of stocks covered by dividends, in Tuesday’s trading, the Qualcomm Inc (symbol: QCOM) shares exceeded more than 2 % based on quarterly dividends (3.4 $ 3.4 per year). I did it. The day is $ 169.81. Historically, dividends are particularly important for investors that investors should consider, as dividends provide a significant part of the total revenue in the stock market. For example, suppose you purchased S & P 500 ETF (SPY) shares on December 31, 1999. Fast forward on December 31, 2012, each stock was worth $ 142.41 on that day, reducing $ 4.67 in all years. However, consider that the total income rate of 23.36 % has collected $ 25.98 per share during the same period. Even if the dividend is reinvested, it is only about 1.6 % average annual income. Therefore, in comparison, collecting more than 2 % will look quite attractive if the yield is sustainable. Qualcomm Inc is a S & P 500 company and offers a special status as one of the large companies that make up the S & P 500 indexes.
