Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

Rozella, I know what you mean about BOQ. I jagged a mid 1570 buy after putting in a high 1580 buy, went for a shower, the phone rang on the way out the door and bang..I heard the BOQ was in freefall.
Just profit taking I assume, and I notice that Aegis changed BOQ to a big SELL last night.

It's quiet times on the dividend front at the moment, no?


cheers,
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

G'day Stan 101,

I broke one of my golden rules buying BOQ on the announcement day. From periodic research, I have found that more than 50% of the time, stocks that meet my criteria are lower at close on the day after announcement.

BOQ still meets my criteria so it was pointless selling even though it just fell through my stoploss @ 1574.0, & I finished up buying another parcel @ 1570.0

My other mistake for the day was not to take the sell on the open of 325.0 with JST...it also closed @ 325.0 the day before, but greed set in.

I have learnt that "take the profit when it is there, don't wait for when it might be there"

It's quiet times on the dividend front at the moment, no?

No.....I wish it was sometimes. I have 15 stocks atm, all in various stages of the strategy, & the moment if you take your eyes off the monitor, one of them usually makes a run. Also I am preparing to enter the banks & LPT's for their reporting season. ANZ is expected to report on 27th of this month, being the first major.

Cheers
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

I know what you mean about taking the profit. I've bought and sold in CML several times in the last 2 weeks. But I'm not going to enter back in before EX Div. Also there have been a few that aren't on your radar such as CBH and DLS that I've been moving through buying and selling often. But I'm backing out till the banks get closer to ex time. I usually like to wait and see a bit of a trend before I buy. Probably over cautious.
I'm going to sit on the sidelines this month, with the exception of ANZ, as it's getting a bit warm for this boy. besides, being back in OZ now and there are a couple of tidy realestate opportunities popping up..

Cheers,

Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

Hi, just curious as to why you sold ANZ today. Was it profit taking before the results announcement so that you can then hop on after for the div ?
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

G'day OzFrisky,

I like to take profits when they are there, not when they might be there.

ANZ does not report until the 2nd of next month, so possibly there will be some down days to re-enter at the right price. It peaked at 2749.0 today, so I sold as it started to slide.

Dividend last year was 51.0/share, & assume it will be 55.0 to 57.0 this time. It is the dividend that I set out to achieve, so any extra is a bonus....this trade was 80.0/share, & I am ready to re-enter if the opportunity arises.
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

Ah I see, so you set out on each trade with the aim of trying to make the dividend amount and once you make that you look at selling each time it starts to trend down, take the profit and then look for a re-entry point to do it all again. Interesting, I thought you might have been working off some kind of I have reached x% profit, time to sell order.
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

G'day OzFrisky,

Yes, that is basically it, however, with ANZ I may have outsmarted myself with the DOW being up 194.99 overnight.

Cheers,
