I'd run from any stock paying an 8% dividend. As I always say, such stocks are usually sucker bets. And any stock paying >12% is a guaranteed sucker bet.
Again--- in 2020 -- I find that my overall best-performing stocks only pay modest dividends. This year, plenty of stocks yielding 4%-6%, such as banks and utilities, have lagged.
