INVESTORS NOT BEING REWARDED FOR HOLDING STOCKS

http://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-dividend-yield/     In the past you could tell when stocks had hit near generational LOWS when the dividend yield soared to attract investors and pay them for the outsized RISKS of holding stocks, in general 6% was paid.

NOW? 1.8% one of the lowest readings in history except 2000, what happened in 2000?

4.4% is the mean paid over history....let me repeat...we are now at 1.8%....that is extremely bothersome.
