Love this site. Saves time and work. Not sure I am navigating site completely would you advise. When is site updated? (Nov - Dec) I did my first dividend capture…fairly successful. Should have sold on the ex-div day, but had purchased at lower price. Is this the general case? Thanks!jff

I often sell on exdiv or the day before. Play the cool down as well.

Can you sell the day before the “EX”?? I have found the day after leaves me short if I don”t have the Long to start with…maybe…I”ll learn?? Would apppreciate any help or ideas. What do you mean by the “cool down?” Thanks! jfredfin

Sam, you mentioned seling b/4 the EX measning long? Can you sell on EX b/4 the equity goes down to reflect the “D” or do you have to go options route. Sorry, this isn’t a comment to the above. Jfredfin

Doesn’t matter long versus call, or if it is on exdiv date or the day before, The idea is to profit on the run up leading to exdiv.
