I have a general question about dividends and common stocks that keeps nagging at me. You quoted MYG's yield at 3.5% today. But in recent months. MYG has traded from 32 to 18 (now 21.54). So the yield for a .72 dividend has been all over the place from 4% to 2% and change. How can anyone make a rational calculation about yield with unstable common stock prices? Seems irrelevant, but maybe I am missing something. If you buy and hold a bond to maturity I can see where the daily price in the secondary market is not important. But not a stock.
