is it wise to invest in a stock with a large div yield?

you should not buy soley for the dividend. the price of bhp is going down for a reason. if you hold until the full years dividend is paid you will make 11% (which is $110 if you bought $1000 worth of shares), but if the share price keeps dropping, you might lose 50% on the stock. so you make $110 on dividends but lose $500 on stock price drop. a perfect way to lose money.
