I can tell you as a person who has owned and followed this stock for a few years it may go up 10 dollars or more in a small stretch but after that run it usually finds another 52 week low back on its way back down. I wouldnt boast to much about this stinker.

Thus the old rule. Take your profit. If they got this for the divi, and they had 100 shares, they added roughly $300 to their total profit.


People that play the dividends are not normally going to hang onto it.

I don’t own (never have) or follow CBRL. But it just popped up on my news feed that shows stocks hitting fresh 52 week lows: 53.85 a few minutes ago.

Buying a stock just to capture the div isn’t something that I do. But if one wants to own the stock anyway, and it’s a longer term investment play, there’s nothing wrong with buying it pre ex-div. But attempting to short term trade, with the ex-div as the trigger for going long… not something that I’d do. But again, I don’t consider myself to be a stock trader.
