I've been buying 1-2 weeks before the ex divy date for a couple companies with
juicy yields and selling upon ex date or before the ex divy date. Making decent
gains on doing so. Always having a stop limit in place, but sometimes like this
time, you can make 10-20% plus a nice dividend also.

But they wouldn't have declared it if they didn't think they could afford it,
right?

buying a stock solely for the dividend is kind of like getting a hooker because
she can hold a decent conversation.

i mean, i guess it works for some, but not really the main event.

thats my way of saying get the heck outta there

congrats on the trade. and no, the current dividend still doesn't look too
safe.
<P/>
At least you didn't follow the insiders, who were buying over $4 a share last
month. It still boggles my mind how much money has been thrown down the drain by
insiders over the past year.
