Entry / Exit with a small profit x frequency. In the current climate not a long term holder but certainly worth trading the swings. Occaisionly hold for the div and wait for the post exdiv fall/rebound to close out the trade (div plus trade profit, double dip). As always dyor.
In on today's dip @ 0.775 my second DXS entry this year and hopeful that at some point in the near future ill be able to exit at above 0.85 same as last time...i find it a little strange that there seems to be so many (apparently) easy dividend/distribution plays available at the moment, DXS dipping down to the bottom of its trading channel a week or so before ex date just don't make alot of sense to me. :dunno:
I posted the above 9 days ago on 14th December, the (apparent) easy dividend/distribution play i saw turned out to be even more easy and profitable than i thoughtselling today would of got any conservative punter an easy 6.59 cents per share (8.5%) profit in only 9 days....and selling tomorrow may well turn out to be even better. :dunno:

Distribution ex date of 23 December and a 2.59 CPS distribution sounds ok to me.
Out today at 0.815 for a 4 CPS profit, plus the 2.6 CPS distribution, so a return of about 8.3% for my 1 month investment....not the exit i was planning for but i saw an opportunity to take a big average down into Suncorp so decided it was best take the profit and switch my DXS trade capital over to SUN.
As per my trading/investment/retirement plan i have left a small amount of capital and all the profit in Dexus, thus increasing my long term holding by about 80% and my free carry shares to about 50% keen to re-enter DXS the next time the SP dips below 0.78
I dropped out yesterday also at $0.82. This was a return of $0.035c on my entry of $0.785 plus the dividend of $0.0259 giving a total return of $0.0609, 7.76% before brokerage. Not bad for a short term hold.
Its just so easy hey Nullait amazes me why everyone isn't doing this :dunno: seriously who would have money in a term deposit when easy safe returns like this are so plentiful in this market...it was like the ASX gods served this up for us, the SP tanking 2 or 3 weeks before ex div and then back up to 4-5% from the bottom after the ex date.
After retracing to $0.81 - $0.82, the market woke up and decided dxs was/is a buy. Now testing the upper channel levels of $0.86 and closing the gap on it's nta value, the question to decide is: Has dxs peaked or is it going to break out of the channel and keep going north?
And just when you thought it couldn't go much higher it bangs on another 5%. The RSI chart suggests the share is moving into the overbought area as the gap between the share price and the moving average opens up. The share price has narrowed the gap to the nta value.

The long term view makes you wonder if Dexus has finaly broken out of the channel?

So_Cynical said:The REIT's are still range bound, however eventually they will all get a leg up when the general market starts to push fresh highs.
Is $0.85 a new support line? Can we expect dxs to move into a higher level trading channel from here? Or is it only a temporary reflection of market sentiment? What ever it is Dexus is a trader as the market in Australian REIT's struggles to close the gap with NTA and maintain value going forward. My only reservation is that Dexus still has a significant exposure to the U.S.A property market.
