    Telus, BCE and Rogers: Cellular Network Upgrades Increase Costs [view article]
    Mr. Fan should learn the technology before laying judgment. I don't know what the coverage is like east of Alberta, but the saying for BC and Alberta is Rogers don't leave town with it. TELUS/Bell coverage is far superior.

    Another thing is EVDO not known as a 3G technology? It's been out for quite some time.

    Come on Mr Fan get your facts straight before advertising for Rogers.     Reply

    Doesn't the stock go down by the dividend amount? (answer: yes) Seriously you people are not the first to think of this... Reply

    This is a great strategy for good companies. A lot of times, companies that are in trouble will offer high dividends to attract investors. Stay away from those! But there are plenty of solid companies that offer 8-10% dividends...shipping companies especially (PRGN, ESEA, DSX...) Reply

    As long as you buy before the ex-dividend date you will recieve the dividend. The ex-date takes into account the time it takes to get the stock recorded in your name.     Reply

    I believe there is an ETF from Alpine that practices this strategy and yields over 10%. Reply

    I also picked up a few more shares of FRO, after the price dropped about $4 today, and added them to my stash... this is one I'm hanging onto. I like the dividend and I don't like paying the commission. I can always just have them send me a check, instead, and have the best of both worlds. Reply

    not so smart, FRO's ex-date is today. Too late, but what a NICE div. CES, the day before is good for the dividend. The day OF the ex-date is too late. And consider commissions on buying and selling, you have to take those into account to really count a profit. If it costs you $10 to buy a stock (no matter how many shares) and $10 to sell it, then you need to make sure you're going to get MORE than $20 in profits or it's not worth selling (and maybe not worth buying).

    Very Risky I suspect! I don't think you can buy dividends without taking the risk of the stock. Reply

    If I buy the day before the stock goes exdiv do I get the dividend?? Or do I have to buy 4 days before so the trade settles prior to the exdiv date and is recorded on the company's books? If I buy 1 day before the exdiv date-who gets the dividend?? Reply

    Adan - - -

    PEG is the ratio of Price/Earnings ratio divided by the earnings growth rate (usually the 3-5 year forward estimate). It may not have importance for a 5-10 day strategy such as dividend capture. I would speculate that there might be a smaller risk of a loss for very low PEG vs very high PEG, but sometimes very high PEG stocks are in a bubble and might keep going higher in the short term. This would be worth a careful study; the downside is that the results would be subject to the rearview mirror criticism.     Reply

    really interesting - two things...

    what is peg? ie, how is it important for this kind of transaction?

    and

    wouldn't it be wise to at least see if there's anything equity market-wise negative possible/probable on the horizon, then make a risk / reward decision?

    It's great for a IRA,because you get around capital gains. I've made 25% in a year. Reply

    People do indeed do this, and they made a decent profit at if if they can get around transaction costs. Big IF, of course.

    Theory holds that share prices should drop by the exact amount of the dividend at ex-dividend, but they usually do not. Average time to break even is usually around 6 days.     Reply
