RE: Dodge the divi?25 Mar 2021 09:36
Well I sold 70% of my holding yesterday at 3.82 and bought back this morning at 3.61. Could have timed both better but made 5%. So I dodged the divi and did at least as well, as I wouldn't be claiming off Swiss anyway.
So I got slightly more than what I would have got and got it two weeks earlier. I usually get my dividend reinvested so the last part of the puzzle will be the price after the 12th of April. If its higher than today then I will have gained further still, than relying on the reinvestment program.
It's all a gamble but an interesting and perhaps not too costly experiment.
