Comments on: Who’s to blame for the “crisis”? http://www.dividendium.com/blog/whos-to-blame-for-crisis/ Sun, 11 Sep 2011 20:38:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Dividendium http://www.dividendium.com/blog/whos-to-blame-for-crisis/#comment-41 Dividendium Sun, 05 Sep 2010 20:17:23 +0000 http://66.109.29.190/?p=42#comment-41 Glad to hear you like the website. My opinion is that dividend capture doesn't work in the long run. My reasoning is that an "investor" may grab a few dividends successfully, but eventually that investor will most likely get stuck with a stock that drops for some reason other than the dividend, and takes all the profits they made from the previous dividend captures and more. For my personal investing, I don't do dividend capture. I only do the No Lose Stocks, and Long Shot Options (with my core capital) from the website. So I don't use Inflatable Dividends. Hope that makes sense. Glad to hear you like the website.

A lot of studies (e.g. see "Investments" by William F. Sharpe, p. 155, 1978 Prentice Hall) suggest that you can't 'buy' dividends because when you quickly go to sell the stocks ex-dividend, the stock prices have retracted by approximately the same amount. It seems that markets which are largely efficient won't allow 'easy money' to be captured (at least in any statistically significant quantity). I would like to hear your opinion. I like your website.
