Markets are getting nervous because Stimulus and QE slowed. At times I think the idiots in central banks actually believe their own BS that there is a recovery.

Because central banks never allowed a correction in 2008 and became a market Participant, QE is the only thing holding it together. Yield vanished as a result and now everything relies on capital gains.

Growth now requires exponential QE otherwise we get deflation just like 2008. To get yields up we need huge CPI demand driven inflation which is where the stimmy money comes into play.

The dividend yield of the S&P is not a useful indicator. 

The yield referred to is the "dividend yield".  The S&P 500 index is comprised of the largest 500 companies on the stock exchanges. 

It includes all companies, many of which do not pay dividends and therefore distort the dividend yield report. 

Since most high flying, high valuation companies of today are "growth companies", they do not pay dividends and will never pay dividends.

Their objective is not to pay dividends but to grow their stock valuation.

If your objective is to get dividends, buy stock in companies that pay dividends.

We are seeing massive inflation in all real assets as our government continues to borrow and print more and more money
