"I have BMO yielding 12.72%"

Yield on cost?  No serious investor uses that metric. Feel good number only. There are many posters here (not me, haven't been around long enough) that have stocks paying annual dividends that exceed what they paid for the stock, and they won't use Y.O.C.!

To compare notes, my portfolio yield is 5.17% based on F.M.V., as that is the only number that counts. As for annual increase, let's just say I more than doubled yours. But hey, for me that increase is a meaningless 'feelgood' number, as I only care about my annual dividends.  Which in a few years will be providing me a growing, tax efficient income that will allow me to enjoy life without having to spend 15 hour days researching stocks. 

I hope you and your cohorts enjoy riding your Nissan..... Micra.
