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

Rozella,
Another company which is going ex-div in the next couple of days is IAG. because of recent reports its share price has gone down a lot lately but with current dividend being paid, they represent a pretty good yield.
Do you avoid companies like that because you don't trust them holding their price afterwards?
Do you also make it a practice in a volatile market to limit the time you hold the shares?
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

G'day ozambersand,

Yes IAG goes exdiv on 30th August....there are plenty to pick from atm that I would prefer, although I have a small quantity.

34 more stocks declared their dividends today so it is a busy period that will last us through to November which overlaps with the next round of cum-dividend stocks.

I would rather buy a stock that has posted a better result than IAG....there are plenty to choose from atm with a higher probability that they will rise.

Volatile market or not, it is better to have a high stockturn with the same cash. i.e try to achieve the most profit in the shortest time frame & keep repeating the process. My average days open last year was 36.29 days.....some are only a day or two & others could be up to 60/70 days (which is too long)
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

Thanks for that reply. I am finding the hardest part is knowing when to sell. Lately have sold too soon as I am a bit jittery with what the market is going to do. I'm still a novice!
Have you noticed that Westfield is at $21.00 now? It's gone up 10% in just 20 days! (I sold ex-div day, took my dividend and ran with a bit of a loss on the trade but still made 10.4% on a one day trade!!) Maybe, this is one field where you don't want to dwell on the past (or get too greedy!!)
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

ozambersand,

For myself...I take the profits when they are there. its a 2-way street...how many times are we a bit greedy & wait for more rise, then it drops....short trades are sweet.

It also depends whether you then utilised the cash from WDC into another profitable trade.

I consider trading as though I was running a shop.....its the profits you generate at the end of each month that count & not just individual trades.

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

Since the dividend reporting season has taken a breather we have been ' travelling & trading' around central west NSW...Dubbo at present. We are using a Bigpond nextG mobile USB card connected to a ethermax docking station, then a ethernet switch which shares internet with 2 desktops + laptop....all works quite well providing Telstra service is available.....Moss Vale has been the only problem in the last 11 days. ISP charges with the mobile next G are very high so I have not been posting on the forum until I had some time to test the usage.
