So suppose I buy a counter which has a good chance of declaring a good solid dividend. I'm not the only one who knows that, so just before the dividend, I buy it and sure enough it goes up. Then I sell it before ex-date because I know it's going to drop. Then I will get my "dividend" before the dividend is declared if I am wrong and it does not go up, I know it will drop by the dividend amount, so I will sell at that price and get the dividend, thus I will break even excluding brokerage (which is really cheap btw.) 

So worst case I break even, best case I make some money. Where's the catch in that?

Cannot, sell before ex date cannot get dividend.
But some, including those here have done so if they calculated that the profits is higher selling before ex date than on/after ex date + dividend. Cos the price  may drop a lot after ex.

lazy boi.. 

Can be done during pre-opening or pre-closing.. time only

Let say buy Queue is 5000 lots @ 1.30, Sell Queue is 200 lot @ 1.30

If you put at 1.30 queue, you might not get the share you want, since got 5000 lots in front of your queue

But if you put your bid at 10 lot @1.31 right before preclosing, ON CLOSING TRADE your order will take precedence over the 5000 lots @ 1.30 and WILL transact at 1.30 (from sell queue) instead of 1.31.

Fast fingers and staring at the screen is required as well. 

Ada faham? If not faham 100% better dont try.. otherwise can backfire

I think that only comes at the pre-closing stage.
Then again, I could be wrong 

It is pre-open, pre-closing "technique" to jump Q... 

They knew the price won't be matched at this price one.

What OIB?

U ada salah tered?

vol done for that trade was 200.

200* 0.02= rm4 , broker fee 0%.

To be blunt I don't totally trust what I read in forums - especially stock forums.



That's Pavreit intraday trades for yesterday.

Tell me how and where one could have traded for a profit?
(* this is even incredible since we are using a PAST data to find a winning trade *)

Err....

OK if you want to use the possibility of sell and then buy back, of course it is a possibility.
Dude... I will leave it as it is la....
I don't feel comfortable continuing on this REITS thread la....
And I don't want to take up more space on this thread...
If I am wrong... I am wrong. 
So be it. 

All I will bluntly advice is not to simply trust what you read - esp when you read a forumer constantly boasting of weekend meals made from trading..

Ok?
