Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?
Bought AWC yesterday @ 617.0 with a margin of 70%. Investment 185.1/share.
Profit announcement expected around 28th Jan & exdiv around 3rd Feb. Last years div was 10.0/share fully franked.
Tric, I jumped back in on WDC a bit too early in hindsight.

G'day Bodhi2500,
Buy price of WDC was 1730.0 or $17.30/share
I say a margin of 75%, but it is really the LVR given to that stock by the marginlender.
Example:
Buy 3000 WDC @ 1730.0 = $51900.00
LVR is 75% with most marginlenders
so the marginlender puts up 75% = $38925.00
& you put up 25% = $12975.00
Therefore your investment is $12975.00
or 25% of the share price = 432.5 or $4.325/share
My marginlender is 8.15% p.a. so therefore the borrowed part ($38925.00) will cost $8.69 per day.
Cheers,
rozella

Isn't that alot?

Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?
WDC rose 14 cents today,
so on the example, that is a rise of 3000 x $0.14 = $420.00 - $8.69 = $411.31
Without marginlending using the same invested amount ($12975.00)
This would only buy 750 WDC
Therefore 750 x $0.14 = $105.00 in comparison.

Hi Rozella,
Do you use any stop losses technique? How do you set it up with a Margin Leading strategic?

Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?
Yes, the stoploss is the key to protect your capital.....it is easier for me to direct you to my website on the trading diary pages which will explain my stoploss rules & examples
Trading Diary 1
Trading Diary 2
The marginlending is just a way of financing the purchase & does not affect the stoploss.

Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?
Hi Rozella,
I asked the question before because if you are running your investments with your own capital will be more flexible with the stoploss you use.
Eg:
As your previous example:
3000 WDC @ 1730.0
Let say this share drops 3% = 1678.1
that will give you a loss of around 12.06%
If you are running with your own capital a drop of 3% will give you a loss of around the same percentage, so you are more susceptible because of the risk you have.
So, what I am saying here is that a 3% stoploss with a 75% ML will give you a 12% real loss.
Do you think a 10% or 12% stoploss for own capital is reasonable? Do you have different stoplosses for different kind of shares?

Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?
Your calculations are right Warren Buffet II, marginlending magnifies losses as well as wins, but you can't win on every trade. With a good strategy you will have more wins than losses. Marginlending just gives you the opportunity to have more in the market, but obviously it must be a winning strategy.
With the stoploss it does not matter per share whether you have marginlending or not. 3% of 1730.0 is 51.9/share. Its just with marginlending you would have a bigger quantity.
The idea is to have a few more rules. My maximum held in any one stock is 15% of the total portfolio, so if my stoploss is 3% per stock, then my total risk on the portfolio is 0.45%
I think 10% or 12% of the purchase price is far too much using the dividend strategy.

Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?
Rozella, thanks for your reply. It is as always very constructive.
I have some more questions for you:
1) As you said, stoploss is the key to protect your capital, do you have any "profit taken" strategy?. What I mean here is:
Eg
Let say 2 day trade without ML.
Buy 1000 ANZ @ 2000.0
Div = 54/share
Profit could be $27 = 2.7% (Buy price = sell price without fees)
So in this case you are targeting a 2.7% profit. Now what if the share price rises 3% or 5%. Do you sell or wait to get the dividends? Any suggestions?
I know the question is a bit open and it has many variable but I really would like to know what you think.

Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?
Warren Buffet II,
This market is very good, & every now & again it has a rest, & a stock like ANZ does not rise 2% every day, so on the lead up to the dividend, I like to take profits if the stock has risen an amount approx equal to the dividend if it hesitates, then wait for the rest day & go back in. I do not have any formula for this, it is purely discretionary. The exercise is to strip the dividend, so if I can do this 3 or 4 times with the one stock, then I am happy.
Of course the brokerage plays a part & it depends whether it is a negligible amount or not.
In a bear market, you don't usually have the luxury of making much in trading profits, so you are purely stripping the dividend, sometimes not making the full dividend because it may be more fruitful to sell at less than you bought it for & move onto the next deal. When in a bear market I trade as I have shown on my website, the cycles are longer & don't sell until the stoploss is hit, but it still profitable & regular. The website trading took a hit last week & 17 trades hit their stoploss levels, but it is still showing approx 48% return in the last 205 days after brokerage & interest.
Hope this is of some help.

Bought PTD on Friday 28th January @ 184.0 with a margin of 50%.
Investment 92.0/share. exdiv 8th February, div 8.0/share fully franked.
I am not that comfortable with this one & will exit before exdiv or stoploss of 178.0, whichever is sooner.
