Dividend, Share Price: Is there a connection?

Most marginlenders will give 10% buffer these days.

e.g. if you had $100,000 as your working capital, then used a margin loan with the average LVR being 70% & you utilised the lot, you would have $333,333.33 in the market. This would be utilising 100% of your available credit.

Although the marginlender will not extend the credit further to buy more stocks, they have a further leeway of 10% (buffer) before they would give a margin call. i.e. If the stocks dropped $33,333.33 then you would be utilising 110% of the available credit.

Hi,

Rosella, you wrote:

"if you trade cum-dividend stocks as I am all the time, it becomes part of every day trading to make sure that all details are registered & up to date."

What exactly are the 'details' you are talking about here? I recently enquired about registering some details with Link market Services. They seemed to have no idea what i was talking about and said because the trade was broker sponsered there is nothing I can register apart from personal details, tax file number and banking details. Are these the 'details' you are talking about?

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

Yes that is all it is, simple as it may be, but if you leave it upto the broker to register your TFN, then you take the risk that it is not done by record date & therefore 48.5% withholding tax may be deducted from your dividend, especially if you purchase close to the exdiv date (day before)

There is 4 business days between exdiv date & record date & 3 days for settlement of a purchase which really only gives 1 full day to record the details if buying the day before exdiv date. That is why leaving it to the broker is risky. Of course you can always claim it back at tax time but who needs the hassle & you don't have all the dividend in the meantime.

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

Hi Rozella,

How are you n your trading recently ?
I think everyone is not doing too well........

Just a quick question, I would like to ask if we buy share b4 ex-div and sell on the record date. So do we still get the dividends ?

Wednesday was my largest hit, however, there is not much one can do when it already is down on open.....only to stop it going lower & use some discretion. Yesterday & today are not so bad....I am nicely up today atm.

Just a quick question, I would like to ask if we buy share b4 ex-div and sell on the record date. So do we still get the dividends
You can buy as late as the close the day before exdiv day & sell as early as the open on exdiv day & still be entitled to the dividend. The contract dates control who is entitled to the dividend. The record date is 4 business days after the exdiv date so you have no worries.
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

Contract date , when is it ? is it the same as the ex-div date ?

Record date is for the registry to record who is entitled for div. If we only need to own b4 ex-div and can sell on ex-div, so, why do they need to bother to have record date ?

Thank you in advance Roz..
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

G'day j4mesa,

Contract date , when is it ? is it the same as the ex-div date ?
Contract date is your buy/sell contract notes

Record date is for the registry to record who is entitled for div. If we only need to own b4 ex-div and can sell on ex-div, so, why do they need to bother to have record date ?
Even though you are entitled to the dividend, the registry needs to know how you want your dividend paid i.e. cheque or direct deposit, & they also need your TFN. If you don't supply your TFN then they can deduct 48.5% withholding tax from the dividend. Of course you can claim it at tax time but who needs the hassle & you are not making use of the full dividend.
