Questions people ask
Why does yield rise when a stock falls?
Yield is the dividend divided by the price. A falling price raises the yield mechanically, which is why a high yield is often a warning rather than a reward.
Limitations
Every result here is arithmetic on the numbers you enter. It carries no view on any specific security, assumes returns are steady when real returns are not, and ignores taxes, slippage and commissions. Use it to size and sanity-check, not to forecast.
