TheLocoMono: YOC is really a metric that measures dividend yield and dividend growth. In effect it calculates a yield by basis by current annual income. This shws the effect of not only the initial yield, but the compound growth of that yield. That is why some stocks with a low initial yield are better buys than some with a higher yield. My NPV MMA Diff. calculation looks at this over 20 years

It is simply the annual dividend rate times number of shares owned divided by what you paid for the investment (basis).<BR/><BR/>I am a little lost.<BR/><BR/>Using your example with RY, am I right in understanding that based on the YOC that RY is better to buy in 2006 than it was in 1997?<BR/><BR/>If you bought one share in 1997 and one share in 2006, how does this affect the YOC?<BR/><BR/>I

KO is currently trading at a significant premium based on my models.<BR/><BR/>You have to look at YOC in layers for a single investment. As noted in my Investing Goals post, YOC will be more sensitive to the yields of what I am buying, versus dividend increases in the early years due to the relative size of the purchases versus the portfolio size. When I wrote the YOC article my YOC was 4.95%,

Interesting point on KO vs. RY on YOC. KO kind of got to bubbly valuation in 1997 so I'm assuming it would have been ruled 'too expensive' to the cautious eye.<BR/><BR/>I have been investing for a short time but my best YOC differential is 0.3% difference with several of my holdings includng RY and BAC.<BR/><BR/>I also find this statistic very interesting. It really shows the pace of dividend

FJ: That is an excellent point! So many times we subconsciously forget to consider the tax ramifications. Trading is not free - from many standpoints...<BR/><BR/>Best Wishes,<BR/>D4L

In addition to YOC and current yield, you can also measure yield based on the after-tax capital. For example, if you think your stock AAA is overvalued, and are considering selling it to purchase BBB, you first must calculate how much capital remains after selling AAA. <BR/><BR/>Say $100 in AAA is distributing $3. If the embedded capital gain tax is $20, then your yield on after-tax capital is
