People have been doing it for years, with regular dividend paying stocks. Ideally you want to use a solid stock, which will bounce back after the x-dividend date. The income trusts which pay quarterly are the ones I play. I usually buy before the x-dividend date of the month before. For example, SHN.UN goes x-dividend in late September. I did my buying before the x-dividend date in late August for the monthly paying trusts, the reason being that a lot of dividend strippers want to get the August dividend, and than jump into the quarterly payers. I want to buy before these people switch because they tend to drive up the price a bit.
