	Dividend yield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Dividend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Property dividends or dividends in specie (Latin for "in kind") (rare) are those paid out in form of assets from the issuing corporation, or other corporation (eg its subsidiary corporation).

		Unlike joint stock company dividends, these payments are made in proportion to a members' spending with the co-operative society, not the number of shares they hold in it.

		CHARLES F. Dividend yields on US stocks have fallen to historic lows during the past two years, leading some to suggest that the stock market may be overvalued.
