Anyway, I ran a stimulation idea on buying Top Glove based on dividends.
Yup. I sure did.

What to do... batu api ma....
Anyway, let's be fair.... let's use that old simulation since DEC 2020 and I shall bookmark this thread and see what happens 2 years from now....
This way, no matter what, we can learn.....
Here ....
post #41207I post the main part here again...................
1. Buying a stock just b4 it goes ex dividend.
Best one to TEST it out is Top Glove.
Point is, you need to test such ideas/insinuations out. Recently Maybank, went ex-dividend. Look at Maybank now... it's been sliding since then. So you would have gotten the dividend but since the market readjusts the price for the dividend, the stock automatically trades lower.
so test it out. Mark 6.70 as your buying price. Come back one month later. See the result.
blah...blah....blah....
anyway something like this .... just a rough idea.... run simulations...
or maybe you have DUMBASS MAKE MONEY STOCK going to make its QR report in 2 weeks time. Run simulations. Assume you want to dive in early. And then compare it versus with the do nothing option. Examine the results....
And also ... you can test out LOUSY IDEAS ... just don't care and test it out....

So the buy point 6.70 on Dec 2020.
Dividend collected so far 16..50
Price today 5.30.

they say you should buy last year and certainly not in Dec.....
