Summary of MRK Data

Dividend Growth Rate, min = -65.41% per year, mean = 14.72% per year, std. dev. = 5.73%, "Sharpe Ratio" = 2.57

The "Sharpe Ratio" is calculated as the ratio of the mean dividend growth rate divided by its standard deviation. This assumes that the dividend growth rate of a risk free investment is 0. The higher the "Sharpe Ratio" the better. It is stretching the definition of the real Sharpe Ratio to apply it in this way.
