"I have seen a big Australian study with heaps of empirical evidence that showed that in most cases shares recovered the dividend paid within a few weeks" This is what I was talking about... Dividend stripping. Possibly the biggest con since the Wolf of Wall Street gave you a cold call...
Oh this quote:
Well in his defence, he never mentioned arbitrage.
And given the definition of arbitrage: the simultaneous buying and selling of...; you are wrong to try and make the association
And if you want a study showing it works then you can find lots and if you want a study showing it doesn't work then you can find lots.
And dividend stripping was Roger's latest thing and I had got bored of it by then anyway.

The hound doesn't care one iota if many are sceptics about dividend stripping...more food for his bowl and he knows its a time honoured and tested method to increase dividend income.Quote:
most cases shares recovered the dividend paid within a few weeks. Obviously with the size of the dividend this time one would expect it will take a bit longer. Thank you for posting previous experience with AIR which supports my contention that all other things being equal the SP is likely to recover the dividend in about twice as long as normal due to its substaintial size.
But for those that are interested, hopefully not many, surely the above is pretty easy to understand seeing as its typed in plain English. Lets save the post mortem for 6-8 weeks time eh.
Rule for a saw thumb
If everyone from sharetrader us doing it then it won't work
