How about spelling out the strategy, not what dividend stripping is per se, but how you actually do it ...
For example, on the day of going ex-div, and the minute that divi payment is confirmed (cash in your bank), sell all your shares before everyone else has, then the SP declines by divi amount (maybe more which is even better), then buy back the original holding plus more with the dividend cash = way ahead of the game. And then if SP doesn't go lower and stays there, or better still recovers in the months following back to ex-div price = really nice capital gains. Or something like that?
