Searching for Yields - Look at Stocks Not Bonds

A chart by Bespoke Investment Group shows that 271 of the 500 stocks in the S&P 500 offer a dividend yield higher than the yield on the 10-Year Treasury.

And considering only 397 of the stocks in the index pay a dividend, it suggests 68% of all dividend paying stocks in the S&P 500 pay a higher yield than the 10-year.
