You can count yourself by reading the financial reports... now don't be lazy.

Otherwise you can get a nice 10 year summary from the Malaysian Stock Performance book - published every 6 months - RM 70.

There is a better screener than the one you posted...http://markets.ft.com/screener/customScreen.asp

WB also teach you NEVER to use leverage...

Why print? Read the pdf online lar...save paper.

IMHO topglove is too expensive in terms of PE, I prefer Kossan with it's good poduct mix, latex, nitrile and technical rubber.

It depends, the stock price will be adjusted ex dividend. Wether it go up further or lower will depend on market sentiments.
Most of the time the dividend is already priced in so its a zero sum game.

For me, there are two ways to count dividend yield.

1. Yield on price
2. Yield on cost

If the yield on price is no longer attractive, i will see the overall business/growth if it is still doing rather well, AND my yield on cost is still good. Why sell?

Otherwise yield on price is no good, business is declining & not doing well, then i will consider to let go EVEN with good yield on cost.

If yield on price is still attractive, and business/growth doing well, i will add more.

If sometimes a company reduce/cut dividend and my yield on cost is no longer attractive, then i will sell

Well that is my 2 sen, others may have different perspective.

Hehe no lar.. joking only mar.

total dividend/current share price = yield on price
total dividend/cost price bought = yield on cost

Yes there are people dca on dividend stocks, but mostly prefer to buy on dips.

Investing post/pre GE does not matter, what matter is the yield acceptable for you

for higher dividend you need to search out lower ranked stocks, blue chips have very less dividend nowadays

You cannot count 4% per year historically as you have no basis to count as the share price will fluctuate. You have to count at current yield. Then you choose those who has maintained or raised dividend over the years.

Looking at past graph is useless in stock investing. You need to look into the future and gauge if the business will be improving. Investing based on headlines and rumors is another surefire way to end up with the wrong stocks, especially you are into dividend investing and not capital gain.

Since you are so 'green' come back later when you have read some of the following books :-

'The intelligent Investor' by Benjamin Graham.
'One up on wall street' by Peter Lynch
'The little book of investment' by Joey Greenblatt

Otherwise you have zero knowledge and will end up with disappointing results. Investing is not easy, it takes a lot of hard work. So work on it. If you are not even willing to invest 'time' in reading further.. perhaps stock investing is not your cup of tea.
