VALE: $0.75 = expected forward yearly dividend 5.6% = yield with stock at $13.30 I also have been looking at VALE. Like most miners, its divi history is much more erratic than many here prefer. At current price, it is interesting, haven't decided yet.

<But it's a cyclical industry, so don't expect steady dividends.> Just my style or way of doing things, but I not only expect steady dividends, I demand them and won't even open a position with any company that doesn't demonstrate they will pay me no matter what happens in the rest of the markets. Buying/investing in a company you know up front you can't expect steady dividends doesn't work for me - it's as bad as trying to time the market and be 100% right all of the time.
