$DIV

i guess if it's bad or good depends on who you're asking. i just meant the environment is vastly different and there's no catalyst in sight so it would probably be a good idea to go towards that div leader the lucu shared the block of

Problem with day off dividend harveting is that on exdiv day the stock decreases by the div amount > @sperry said: Good point Pyro. I thought about the selling pressure but didn't consider some of the pump could have been people jumping in just for the div

Good point Pyro. I thought about the selling pressure but didn't consider some of the pump could have been people jumping in just for the div > @Pyrognosis said: Good to know about them so you're not fooled into betting on something thats just an arb

dividend arbitrage is an interesting and complex strategy the big boys employ to harvest them. Usually triggers flow services, but the div arb strat is quite complex and requires deep pockets.

yeah there's always players doing some size background stuff around ex-div for big boys like PFE

Think PFE is bottoming after another pullback. Today is ex-div date which always seems to put pressure on stock.

found this pretty cool reit the other day @Pyrognosis $MAA middle America apartments, nice chart and over 2% div

an Mutual Fund has tax advantages, in that div are reinvested (you pay tax on that) but the funds duration gets you past short term gains tax.

no, div will be based on last pay out vs current price so a lot of divs are miss aligned

I'd say 50% into RR (rolls Royce) and 50% into BP, not a div stock but huge potential > @EVILHEX123 said: I've got $200

Have $PFE shares, would rather collect the div and sell calls against

heavy XOM call flows there powered by ex div tomorrow

$PFE ex-div tomorrow 0.39 fwiw

don't sell a dividend option unless it expires before the next x-div.
