Ex-dividend date: any good buy/sell strategy?

[Julia]

Hi Julia, this is the thread you were looking for: https://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=454

It was originally started by Lucstar but adopted by rozella soon after.

Thanks, Joe. That's the one I was thinking of.

Sorry to dig up a bit of an aging thread (didn't want to start a new one after seeing a bit of hostility at this one being started ).

I've been looking for a lot of research, statistics and analysis on the price change on ex-dividend date and the relationship between the dividend amount.

The threads that are linked to from this thread seem to be very opinion based and experience based. being a numbers man it would be very useful to have real data / research.

Could anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

It's interesting you say this because this is akin to my plan. However, I find it hard to locate decent shares that pay throughout the various months of the year. Most companies seem to pay in the same month. Do you encounter this problem?

Just set aside 12months living expences into a high interest account and pay yourself a weekly wage and then as you get paid periodically throughout the year eg, dividends, interest,rental and business profits use them to top up the account. so you living expenses account becomes like the magic pudding, every bite you take just keeps regenerating.

Sorry to sound dumb, but I'm not sure I completely understand?

If you don't understand I may have been the one who misunderstood you.

I thought you were saying that you find it hard to live off dividends because they only pay a few times a year.

so I was saying to get around this just put 1 years "wages" into an account and pay yourself a paycheck each week to live off from this account, and then as you go though the year collecting investment earnings use that to top up the account.
