The percentage yield is not the money you're getting. You're getting $3 every year, regardless of the yield.


Right.
I have this argument every time with people who go on about "yield on cost" nonsense.

Stocks (and bonds) don't pay a yield, they pay a dividend.
Yield is just an artificial thing that we compute by dividing the cash dividend by a price.
