If a dividend is extremely high, it is probably not sustainable. Dividends can always be cut. The most important thing is the over-all market trend. The other main thing is earnings growth. If a company keeps increasing its earnings 25% every quarter, that stock will go up even if it pays no dividend, whereas a high-dividend stock that decreases its earnings every quarter is going to go down even in a good market.

There are also many many more as well. Investors need to really do alot of homework prior to investing in index funds. This is especially necessary as index funds are being pushed by all retail banks as the newest thing. However, there are alot of misconceptions, limitations, and myths that investors need to know so that they can properly determine whether or not they are a good investment for each individual. The DIY investor crowd has also jumped on the index funds bandwagon as well. I've written an article that outlines the limitations, myths, and misconceptions that investors need to know. <a href="http://investmentblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/index-funds-and-the-diy-investor-herd/" target="_blank" rel="external nofollow" rel="nofollow">http://investmentblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/index-funds-and-the-diy-investor-herd/</a> .-= Investment Blogger´s last blog ..<a href="http://investmentblog.wordpress.com/2009/09/07/warren-buffett-and-mars-inc-to-buy-wrigley/" rel="nofollow">Warren Buffett and Mars Inc To Buy Wrigley</a> =-.
