TTM Trailing 12-Month Yield

This is an excellent article explaining the trailing 12-month yield (TTM) of dividend companies, and the article also talks about the 30-day SEC yield which can give a more current picture of what the company is doing.  The article also discusses big bond funds like Vanguard's BND which has an excellent safety record but a lower yield return.  Holding dividend stocks will never be as flashy as the S&P 500 in some of its movements, but quality bond funds should definitely be part of your portfolio to help you sleep better at night.  You don't want to be at retirement age right when the stock market drops 50%, and you were 100% invested in stocks.
