i just sold some stock


May 17, 2013, 1:15 PM

and it went down $0.02 after my trade

I should have sold DPS when it was above $50. Better than

$11/share over where I bought it. It is down to $48.87 now. I think I'll take the profits if it gets to $48.

I'm waiting on AGNC to declare the next dividend. Taking a beating on it right now. I want to hold it on the ex-dividend date, then sell. I'd maybe watch to see how far down it goes and buy it right back.

Price of the stock goes down by the amount of the dividend

paid...you should think about that when you're waiting on a dividend

If you own a $30 stock that will pay a quarterly dividend of $.50 then the day after the stock goes ex it will open(theoretcally) at $29.50.

'theoretically'. Ugh, need spell check.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

When a company pays a dividend, it is using its


May 17, 2013, 1:37 PM [ in reply to How do you mean?*** ]

retained earnings/equity to do so. Once it pays a dividend, the amount of the company's equity is reduced, therefore equity per share is also reduced.

The calculation isn't this simple, but for a simple explanation...if a company pays a dividend of $1 and it's worth $20 right before so, the stock price should immediately drop to $19

I guess I've seen that a little bit, but I've never seen it


May 17, 2013, 1:46 PM

drop dollar for dollar. If it stays around the price it is now, the dividend will take some of the sting out of the pershare loss.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It's never going to be exact because of taxation


May 17, 2013, 1:53 PM

and because of after-hours trading...in theory a stock that closes at 20 and pays the $1 should open at 19, but the after-hours traders can change the market value based on how they value it and it can open much higher or lower than 19

I've had AGNC for about a year and a calf. It's back on the rise.

Not this week.

I worry it will hit a bad bump. The plan would be to sell, show that loss on taxes, then buy again at a lower price to get back in the dividends. If it stays stable around $29, I can just let the dividends roll in and be fine.

Also Aero... on REITs you have to pay attention to the mortgage rates... if there is any indication they are going up, I would bail.

I wish I'd sold at $31.50


May 17, 2013, 3:12 PM

It slipped past that while I wasn't looking.

Re: I wish I'd sold at $31.50

Ill give you another one to pay attention to. Sony (SNE). Follow this model. Buy in Late November/early December and sell in mid-late March. If you track that back the past 10 years only one year would have not made money and that was the year of the crash. One year that model would have made 5% with the rest of the time making 20-30%. This year would have been 70%... sadly, for whatever unbeknownst reason, I didnt do it this year.

Yeah... I am wondering if it is inflated for no reason and it will correct soon. Oh well... it is all a gamble. Some moves are safer than others.

And one more bit of stock info... check out WAB. Check out its 10 year history if you think it has just been a fluke. And it is about to do a 1 to 2.

If anyone is wanting to take a gamble, PTIE is waiting on wether or not Pfizer is going to continue backing. If Pfizer says yay, it will double... if no, it will drop.
