So that seems a challenge in itself! A nice divi and begone has some appeal, as it must boost the yield when measured against capital time exposure and opportunity cost of tied up capital. The challenge therefore is whether something more profitable can be achieved with the free capital float (certainly not guaranteed), which of course is another challenge in itself, notwithstanding attracting attention as a trader does. Active investing is full of opportunity but no-one said it was easy huh?
