John, personally I think you are wasting your time persuing this type of activity and Ill tell you why...

1. Find a good stock with a dividend, say $25 with a $1 dividend (I would say thats average) this leaves you with a dividend of 0.25$.

2. This comes up 4 times a year (not frequent enough)

3. Hold period, minimum 2-3 days (maybe less)

I would think that you would be much better off, if all you are trying to do is pick up a 1/4 point is to find a good stock, that moves $1 per day,that you like, figure out whats its worth to you and try and buy it with a good till limit order. Im sure you could pick up 1/2- 1 pt a trade.

Any comments or thoughts?? In actual fact this is what I sort of do, I buy stocks I like, if they get a bit ahead, I sell them and try and buy them back for less..
Scott
