Hi vt, I think a lot of silly money will be leaving yield for growth if the market stays strong for a while. They shouldn't drop at all vt when divis are paid but after the date of record... Understand the Dates... Dividend Date , ex-dividend, date of record ..... -Dividend date... When the distribution is paid. -Date of Record The day you must be the REGISTERED owner of the issue to qualify for the dividend. -EX-Dividend Date CALCULATED using Date of Record and 3 day closing rule. eg: CALGARY, Aug. 19 /CNW/ - Acclaim Energy Trust (TSX: AE.UN - News) announces that a cash distribution of C$0.1625 per trust unit will be paid on September 19, 2003 to unitholders of record on August 29, 2003. The trust units of Acclaim will commence trading on an ex-distribution basis on August 27, 2003. biz.yahoo.com On Aug 27 it is too late to buy and get the Sep 19 distribution. Buy the day BEFORE the ex-div date Aug 26 (Aug 26 plus 3 days for closing = Aug 29) , and you qualify for the Sept 19 distribution investorshub.com Then again from the same post Buying opportunities: -Like regular stocks placements often provide windows of opportunity. Be on the watch especially after an acquisition is announced. Placements are not always announced in concert or sometimes they do debt financing instead etc... Also if you use TD-Greenline, one thing they do nicely is the 'New Issues' section where you can place an expression of interest (a buy) on a new issue on line and see a list of new ones. -Dividend Date , ex-dividend -date of record ..... Watch these dates... sometimes funny things happen due to lack of understanding I suspect of these dates. Dates explained below. Prices often drop more than the payout for some insane reason... yum yum. ;o) regards Kastel

Yes, that's another fact to always keep in mind valuetrader. To expand a little on my last post: Still 17% PM stocks, 6% physical gold, 3 energy and the rest in cash. Watching this latest grand gamble (euphemism would be experiment<g>) in socialist <command and control economics> largely from the sidelines. Just no incentive for me to take much risk here. Sitting on a pat hand vis a vis record YTD gains. Welcome to the new thread. Feel free to expand a little on your thinking. We're not shy here about expressing our opinions and adding supporting evidence. Nor is it off topic to add the colorful personal anecdote now and then. There are no bashers here to prevent exercise of the freedom to do that. After all, unique individual qualities and interests are what make us human. Per the guidelines in this threads header, we're not writing for the WS Journal here:o) So I hope you AWA everyone else posting here will relax, enjoy and express YOURSELVES. Best regards, Isopatch
