Hi spindr00,

In most occasions (regarding dividend aristocrats),when a stock goes ex dividend, it opens down by that dividend. That in fact is a good entry point to try to capture.

Within the course of that day, most stocks do recover.

Even the best of great stocks fluctuate in price.

THAT is exactly what timing a stock purchase is all about.

It does often rhyme with timing the market.

Imagine a diversified stock portfolio that provided sufficient dividends to live off of and build cash with.

With that cash you bought semi's in 2003 and banks in 2009, and energy in 2016.

A dividend portfolio that churns out dividends and allows opportunistic purchases with in sector collapses.

So what happens to stocks during a general market decline does not define a return on a stock, rather the continued return of earnings via dividends allows the deep discounted purchase of stocks that do not ever reach the violent lows of a sector selloff price again.

Perhaps that long term view is difficult for you to understand.

I've now seen and done it long enough to hope for that next wonderous sector decline with in a general market sell off.

It is much more rewarding and secure than the dip of going ex-dividend. imo
