Just noticed something interesting about FG on the market - this stock is sitting above that 4% yield zone, which honestly caught my eye. Trading around $24.40 lately, the quarterly dividend on FG annualizes to roughly a dollar per share.

What's wild is how much dividends actually matter for total returns. I was looking back at some historical data - if you'd grabbed IWV back in 2000 at like $78, by 2012 it was barely higher at $77.79. Sounds like a wash, right? But here's the thing - you'd have collected over $10 in dividends per share during that stretch, which pushed your actual return to over 13%. That's the kind of difference dividend income makes.

So when you see FG yielding above 4%, that's legitimately attractive compared to what most stocks offer. The real question though is whether that FG dividend holds up - you'd want to check the company's history to see if it's sustainable or just a temporary spike. That's where the due diligence comes in before jumping on any high-yield play.
