I'm new here (managed to by chance sell IAG the day before war after holding since the pandemic) For dividend reinvestment, my calculations show it's better to buy a couple of days before divi payment date and then re-pay myself with the Divi payout, historically this has always been a lower SP than payment date and almost always lower than ex-divi date (plus it would only be a few days to cover the money out)
Anyone else done this, a little more effort, not sure it's worth the upside, I calculate I'll be about 3% better off over 10 years so... Having said that it's only 5 mins setting a buy when you get the divi figure released, twice a year, maybe an hours work over 10 years.
