Over the past 15 years or so, the collective dividends of companies in the S&P 500 would equate to a dividend yield of 2% for an investment in an index fund. So for anyone with an interest in dividends, it makes sense to look for stocks with yields of 2% or higher. Otherwise, you might as well just invest in the index.
