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.


I've been dividend capturing recently. I just make sure I don't mind getting stuck with the stock. After the record date passes I set a limit order to sell.

Been doing OK with that so far.

What do you base your limit sell on?

That strategy seems crazy to me. You must love unnecessary taxes.
