problem with dividend stocks is when their profit is high, they pay higher dividend. and vice versa

take JCY for example. their dividend yield record is fantastic, but until this year. their dividend has decrease. no doubt their payout is good, but when bad things happen, they also need to save company ass 1st

another example is maxis. they have been overpay their shareholder in 2016,2015. they dividend payout is higher than their operating profit. shit will happen if they continue to do so, and the ceo reverse the direction.

well. just some example to ponder on...
