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.

if u looking for capital appreciation then its a hold and sell game lo but the dividend yield will be lower when the price of that stock go higher. so in the end u gain dividend + capital appreciation.

my dividend stocks (mainly reits) are on dividend + capital appreciation, except amfirst which is not giving capital appreciation, but consistent 6+% dividend. Still better than FD 

im getting RM15000 per month

why resurrect an old thread?

if invest RM2mil in KLSE, that means you must have way more in savings ....

you can't be placing all your savings in investments, right??
