Yield is the cash return on the current price: a $2 dividend on a $50 share is 4%. It lets you compare income stocks directly, but a very high yield can signal a price that has crashed on bad news.
Current yield uses today's price; yield on cost uses what you paid. A stock bought at $25 paying $2 yields 8% on your cost even while new buyers get 4%: long holders compound income beautifully.
