All time high in dividend payouts

The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index is set for an all-time high in dividend payouts this month.  The expected $34 billion in dividend payments this month will beat the previous record of $32.1 billion set in November 2011.  There’s more good news for dividend investors, 2013 will probably be even better. If there are no changes to the index and if dividend rates stay the same, then next year’s payments are already scheduled to be 5.8% higher than 2012.
