Ok let's just make sure I'm reading these correctly.

This dividend is 2.77% which at the last payout was 26cents per share (coming from the Div/yield 0.28/2.77 field).

Did I get that correct? Or is this the projected % at the next payout? If it's not, how do you determine if it'll stay the same, up or down. From what I gather if a stock is doing great then the dividend % will go down - supply and demand.

Most stocks that I have been watching, most from this thread, are in the 2.x% range. I've been trying to find higher ones that I still know the company, searching is hard!
