I believe you hit the nail on the head: "I guess if this trading strategy was easy, everyone would pile in and make some great returns year after year." The natural tendency is for investors to "find a better way." If an investor was to make money on every trade, he would try to stretch it to make more money per trade. Dividend capture makes the rounds, but I haven't seen anyone post trades as they happen, let alone longer term. Putting that Google chart on 5 years, I see dividend capture funds, most of whom also use options to juice their returns: ADVDX -67.46, ETX -41.85, EVVAX -12.16, HDCTX -29.12, EFP -57.47, CFB -57.47. EVVAX which appears to me to attempt the least dividend capture has the best five year record. Coincidence? Ya gotta love those professionals! lol!
