Four Stocks I'm Watching This Week

I think these seeking-A bloggers need to get some basic lessons in stock trading...
The dividend YIELD is a direct percentage of the current stock price. The actual dividend/share paid out is based on the earnings(EPS). People drive the stock price up or down and hence the dividend YIELD moves up or down, but actual business income determines the dividend/share paid out.

So, GE's earnings could double next year, but if panic investors sell and drive the stock price down, the dividend/share goes up, but he YIELD still goes down..so stop the mad panic sellng!!
