Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market&#8217;s total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the S&amp;P 500 ETF back on 12\/31\/1999 \u2014 you would have paid $146.88 per share. Fast forward to 12\/31\/2012 and each share was worth $142.41 on that date, a decrease of $4.67\/share over all those years. But now consider that you collected a whopping $25.98 per share in dividends over the same period, for a positive total return of 23.36%. Even with dividends reinvested, that only amounts to an average annual total return of about 1.6%; so by comparison collecting a yield above 7% would appear considerably attractive if that yield is sustainable. AT&amp;T is an S&amp;P 500 company, giving it special status as one of the large-cap companies making up the S&amp;P 500 Index.<\/p>\n<p><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.dividendchannel.com\/slideshows\/?slideshow=divyield&amp;page=1\">Start slideshow: 10 Stocks Where Yields Got More Juicy \u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company.
