Just to be clear, ZIM doesn't have a guaranteed yield, and I don't know where you got the 16.90% figure from.  It merely pays a percentage of its profit to shareholders.  No profit, no dividend.  And yes, shipping rates fluctuate, but the core business model is sound, so sometimes it is feast and sometimes it is famine with respect to the dividend.  We are coming out of a feast period and entering a famine period, relatively speaking.

Then your not doing your homework lol. If you take out the payout ratio you will have a yield of over 16%. This company pays  dividends you never know what your getting lol. They also paid a special $17 dividend last year.  Not my kind of investment. I want companies that continue to pay out and raise dividends. Plus this company is full of debt. And its a Israel company and I stay away from investments that doesn't do business in the US. 

I may just but the puts and prosper when this thing crashes on ex dividend day
