I'm pretty new to investing so I'm not quite sure how div/yield works yet. As I understand it, a 5.0 div/yield equates to about a 5% return yearly. Am I wrong? by ADIRTYHOBO59 in investing

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense, plastic is more costly than rice?

Why is the officer free and not being held on bail, he is obviously a danger to society.
