When stocks go ex-div the price usually reflects it, especially when its a large one(the bid ask will change). While there may be some opportunity to make a buck using tax laws (E.G.) take a div, claim a loss etc it would take a lot of time and effort, there's no free lunch, Scott There are probably more opportunities in spin off's, stock splits and when companies are being added to an index. E.G. when a company is spun off the parts are usually worth more than the whole. You can buy pre spin and sell post spin.
