"Any stock that goes down 10% and only sees the yield go up 16 bp's might be a little expensive." Keith, what you are complaining about is a consequence of math. If the stock price drops by x%, the yield will increase by 1/x%. This isn't an Apple specific phenomenon. Apple's dividend is pathetically low compared to it's cash flow, I agree with that. There was never any reason to issue a dividend at all unless they could go big and make a statement about how cheap the stock was on a valuation basis.
