So the best course of action is:

Choose companies that already give clearcut guidance policy with regards to dividends and dividends can only be derived from real operating income or from asset disposal which had made handsome gains due to price appreciation

Putting dividend in its right perspective. Those who need income, will probably have to stay with dividend yielding stocks.

For others, dividend should not be the main focus. If you have a long term investing time horizon, invest in great company that can grow its revenues and earnings over many many years. This company, in its early formative year, usually distributes no or little dividends. It may distribute 20% or 30% of its earnings as dividends. Because its business is growing so fast, its retained earnings are put to work at high ROE.

Over the many years, you will find that your investment in this company rewarded you a lot more than the very high dividend yield stock (which are usually slow growers or no longer growing, except for 1 or 2 which do not require any retained earnings to grow).

For example:

Company A: Bought in 1992 @ RM 8.00. Its DY was probably 1.5%. Today, it has grown its earnings many folds and its dividend per share is RM 2.00 giving you a DY based on historical cost of 25%. Of course, its share price has appreciated a lot too.

Company B: 2005. You might have bought this stock for RM 2.00. At that time, it was growing fast. Its DY was low but it has been paying increasing dividends due to its increasing earnings. Today, its dividend of 70 sen per share, is a DY of 35% based on your historical cost of RM 2.00.

Note that in bought these companies, the dividends received were many times better that the high dividend yield stocks that did not grow over the same number of years.
