BlackRock, Inc., stock ticker BLK, is currently paying a $1.50 quarterly dividend to their loyal shareholders. That calculates to a current dividend yield of 3.02%, which qualifies them as an excellent company for the Common Man's stock portfolio. BLK has been increasing their dividend since March 5th, 2004 and it does not look like they are going to stop anytime soon!
