These are all "good" yields, but the reason they are different is because there is a different risk profile to each. It's your choice how much risk you take and then the yield corresponds to that. Your target is personal to you as it's based on your unique appetite for risk.

assuming the portfolio holds those 3 stocks, the combined yield is 5%.
my question is what is a generally a reasonable combined yield? is 5% good

usually a when people say i'm able to consistantly achieve 9% roi for the average joe, this is good (but this roi includes capital + dividends) .... i'm looking just for dividends.
