I think dividend yield on cost isn't effective. Even if we are targeting 7% yield and the dividends remained unchanged by the share price doubled and we still hold, our effective yield is only 3.5%. The person could divest his stake and switch to another investment yielding a 'lower' 4% yield and still generate higher cash-flow stream.
