Select up to 8 stocks; hold for 12 months.

Yield varies with the stock's market price, even if price variance is low, even though the dividend itself is constant from period to period. Having bought a stock that pays a suitable dividend, why hold it only for a year? Why not hold it until the company drops its dividend payout, or the market price suggests the company is getting into trouble?
