We can compare the gross yield from one company to another and forget about this stupid franked vs unfranked thing.

The interesting bit is as you mention.

Lol.... maybe it's cause everyone started buying companies that frank their dividends.
That of course is another matter, separate to the franked credits vs unfranked question.

I'll have a look...as a matter of interest.
Anyone? highest gross yielding unfranked dividend paying company?
