Hey Bob,
Nice to see your work strategy. I like your idea of selling before the ex. div instead of risking the drop. keep posting your ideas.
Just a side note, brokerage firms have a whole department set up to do what you are doing. Some stocks hold up or recover quickly following ex so they hold for the div and then sell. They identify these stocks and hold and the others they play using your method. Big charts shows events on java chart so you could look at the past history of what happens to a particular stock at div time. Do you play the same stocks each Q?
Cosmo

Hi Bob:
So the idea is that you buy when the dividend is announced and sell on the ex-dividend date? How do you track when the announcements are made?

Regards.
