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

Hi Rozella,

Are you still holding the banks (WBC,WGB,ANZ), they must have come close to being stopped out?

thanks,

Rod.

G'day twojacks28,

i am guessing rozella that you are a daytrader lol

No, I have an average holding time of 35.42 days for this year as at today.

generally when the company pays out a dividend the next day the share price will go down by dividend amount

I allow for a stock to drop the dividend + franking credit

G'day RodC,

Are you still holding the banks (WBC,WGB,ANZ), they must have come close to being stopped out?

Yes, I still have all the banks, but should not be holding any atm. ANZ had a good run yesterday, but half has been eroded today.

Cheers,

I was just wondering, as I've been stopped out of all of them.

Rozella,
Have you had much luck trading STW with this method? Any views of how the sp behaves, I note it tracks the XJO like a bloodhound. I've noted some big ex-div drops. Any idea what the next div will be? Ex-div on 26th June, link to co info page on ASX: http://www.asx.com.au/asx/research/...principalActivity=&industryGroup=NO#dividends

rozella · 9 June 2006

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

G'day RichKid,

Yes, it looks like it will go exdistribution on 26th June along with about 40 LPT's, but they have not announced as yet.

No, I don't trade STW as the volumes always worry me with huge gaps between buy/sell. atm 4978/4997....last price is 4963 @ 15:07:22

Thanks Rozella,
It's a listed XJO tracking fund but the spread is wide as you say, it was 10c difference around the time I posted, from memory, I can see that's doubled. Interesting what you get to know about div's, I didn't realise so many would go ex div at once but tax time explains it.

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

G'day RichKid,

I was only guessing when I said 40 stocks would go exdividend/exdistribution on the same day.....well I was wrong.....last year there 64 on 24th June, which this year will be 26th June, the majority are LPT's. It just so happens that I am using the 23rd June 2005 as a Sample Watchlist on my website, so anyone interested can see which stocks may be coming up around that time, remembering that some of those stocks possibly don't exist, or circumstances have changed, so don't rely on information without checking the latest details.

For those that are not aware of STW, the following is their profile.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
Street TRACKS S&P/ASX 200 Fund (STW) is an investment fund that tracks the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index. The responsible entity for the fund is State Street Global Advisers, Australia Services Limited.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY: The Fund employs a passive investment strategy, investing in securities comprising the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index in proportion to their relative weightings. The Fund may hold derivative contracts (such as forwards, futures, options and swaps over securities in the Index) if the investment manager believes that the Fund's investment objective can be better achieved by doing so. Derivatives will only be used for trading purposes (such as hedging to protect an asset in the Fund against fluctuation or as a substitution for trading physical securities), and not for the purpose of gearing the Fund.

Hi Rozella,

Could you help me understand an aspect of your 'sample watchlist'. I'm unclear how you get the 9.43 franking credit amount in the example below.

Code.......Last price...Div amt..Franking credit..Fr credit %
ANC.ASX.....875...........22...........9.43...............100

Thanks
Bodhi

Thanks Rozella, I've found more info in the STW/Streetracks threads too.

G'day Bodhi2500,

ANC is 100% franked.....22 x 0.42857 = 9.43

Franking credit = dividend x 0.42857 if it 100% franked (example)
Franking credit = dividend x 0.42857 x 0.80 if it 80% franked (example)
Franking credit = dividend x 0.42857 x 0.35 if it 35% franked (example)

The 0.42857 comes from a gross dividend of (example) 100 cents
Companies pay a 30% tax rate
Net dividend is 70 cents
Tax is 30 cents (franking)
30/70 = 0.428757

So if the dividend was only franked to 57.5% as in the case of ALZ (on the sample watchlist) Franking credit = 4.0 (div) x 0.42857 x 0.575 = 99.0

Correction:

So if the dividend was only franked to 57.5% as in the case of ALZ (on the sample watchlist) Franking credit = 4.0 (div) x 0.42857 x 0.575 = 99.0

That should be Franking credit = 4.0 (div) x 0.42857 x 0.575 = 0.99 (It is correct on the sample watchlist)

Shouldnt this be:

30/70 =0.42857 (?)

Another question regarding the 45 day/under $5000 rule... If you acquired more than $5000 worth of franked credits in under 45 day trades, is it the case that you cannot claim for only those over the $5000 limit, or do you forfeit the ability to claim for any of the under 45 day trade credits?

Cheers

G'day Bodhi2500,

I thought thats what I wrote

If you go over your $5000 limit, you can only claim those franking credits for trades greater than 45 days + the buy & sell days......you forfeit all franking credits for trades under 45 days.
