Dividend, Share Price: Is there a connection?

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

hello rozella,

love the report

do you see CFD's as an alternative to margin loan?

if one was starting, could they use CFD's for the dividend trading as opposed to margin loan?

being self-employed I get nowhere with the banks/margin loan providers

thankyou

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

G'day robots,

I am using both conventional marginlending & cfds with the dividend strategy & from my experience, marginlending is certainly much easier.

With cfds you need to have a good self imposed buffer, a tight stoploss & plenty of discipline. If you can do that, it is a good start. Cfds are a good product for disciplined traders & it is possible to do very well with them. If you are not disciplined, most of your cash will be gone in no time.

If you do start with cfds, do it with the minimum deposit allowable, try with about 4 stocks keeping a good buffer, until you learn the mechanics in real time. After about 3 to 6 months if you have learnt your lessons well, then maybe add some more to the pot. Usually the minimum start with a provider is about $5000.

Being self-employed should be no problem with marginlenders, I have been self-employed almost all of my working life & did not have any problem.

I prefer to use people like Leveraged Equities & BT Equities & I find both very good.

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

Sold WBC today @ 2433.0......one of my oldest holdings.....it is not a good trade even though it has been held through 2 dividend periods.....interest eats up too much on these longer holdings with the dividend strategy & the cash would be utilised much better by selling earlier & moving on to a more lucrative deal.

Interest = 90.43/share
Net profit = 72.28/share = 11.86% net return on investment.
