Thanks for the explanation. Where are you seeing the 1.32 % yield figure of VFIAX? Never mind, found it.The S&P index is 5453.10 today. That dividend comes out at 1.32% of the S&P index value. That seems about right. VFIAX is priced at 503.99 and shows a yield of 1.32% which would be a dividend of $6.73. The fund market price and the S&P500 index value are not the same thing. This is the old quart of milk for $1 and gallon of milk for $4.That chart says the current real dividend per share inflation adjusted is $71.98. What exactly is that figure because it does not coincide with the VFIAX per share dividend.This chart of S&P 500 dividends is interesting: https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-dividend/table/by-yearWhat is the relationship between stock price and dividend payed? If the stock is down, is the dividend down?
Take note of what happened during the Great Recession.
