The YouTuber suggests caution with Chimera Investment due to its unpredictable dividend history, which fluctuates significantly with economic changes. While not a constant cut, the dividend's volatility makes it an unreliable source of consistent income, especially for mortgage REITs.
“looking at the dividend history here you see not a constant dividend cut every year but just unpredictable ups and downs down to just 20 cents a share in 2008 shouldn't surprise anyone after the financial crash but that dividend Rose to 90 cents a share by 2010 only to fall again to 45 cents a share by 2012.”
