I’m a little confused about 30 day yields/dividends. If a company has a 5% 30 day yield, assuming the stock stays at a constant price, will my $100 increase 80% and turn into $180 after just 12 months? For example, the vanguard total bond market ETF has a 30 day yield of about 5%, and the stock price does not change very much over time, so how/why is it not a guaranteed profit?
