10 Highest Yielding Semi-Annual Dividend Payers

Could someone tell me how long need to be in a stock to get dividend. And what are chances they will pay same dollar as previous years. I have purchased these high yielders but not sure when they pay, or how much. Thanks if you can assist me with knowledge. CMO GKK IRE shows the payout percent may be high but do they lower as profits lower usually?
