Please don't worry about making me happy CSD, like you say, we all do our own thing. I have experimented with trading quarterly divi payers, and the result is always the same - you can double your dividends, but always end up losing almost the exact same amount as you make. ie - make £5000 dividends in a quarter, and lose £5000 trading, when you could have been happy with £2500 dividends.
One only has to glance at these boards to see the increase in the number of "oil men" and "gold prospectors" playing the quarterlies. Trouble is, they are never satisfied enough to play by themselves, they have to try and encourage the gullible and brag about what they do - mostly by talking down companies they aren't invested in, so they can get back in cheap.
But yes, I do dabble a bit - recently took massive profits on Jarvis, BR Energy, and BR World Metals - but I know that I will never attain the yields I was on.
