Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel , in trading on Thursday, shares of T Rowe Price Group Inc. (Symbol: TROW) were yielding above the 5% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $4.8), with the stock changing hands as low as $93.53 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) back on 12/31/1999 — 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.
