Generally the buy sell scheme does not work. there is enough of a fluctuation in price that the profit from the dividend will not cover the loss on the fluctuation in stock price. I followed about 40 blue chips several years back to see if i could find one with swing trading just to grab the divvie - honestly none of them indicated trading in an out would be worth the time.
Watching the PE ratios and buying into an unloved company with a low PE and a decent divvie does work wonders - just as long as said company is not in a sector that is about to become obsolete.

Fees - not only did I pay 300 bucks for a transaction I had to a pay a yearly "maintenance fee"
