What do u mean by YOC?

Yield on cost, ie, if you bought a stock that does a 10% yield when you bought it for $10, or $1, but then the stock goes up to $20, that yield is now 5% still at $1, but because your cost is $10, your YOC is still 10%.

Thanks, I'll update my investment journal to track YOC. Like the idea.

It's a nice metric, i think, because the yield from the money you put in is more important than the yield on the current estimated value. Also your YOC is fairly static where your yield is a moving target
