I confess to selling more than half my holding at $3.98 just a day or so before it went ex-div.

From July it increased in price by $1, going from around 8%+ yield to 6%+ in the process.

At around $3 I might top back up, but for now I'll hold and look for higher yield elsewhere (SWM 11%+ but at risk?, HVST 11%+ and solid?, or even an ALF/WMK at around 7%+ with market hedging). IMO TWD needs to offer at least 8% to be considered, so a price above $3 is only attractive if the dividend starts growing due to increased profitability.
