    Dividends

    ...Good luck, trying to out guess the market is a case in futility unless your crystal ball has a genious inside! Getting the dividend, I can invest in more FSC at a lower price, if it does indeed fall a lot!

      Don't take me wrong. You are completely correct. It is a guess. I like to think it is an educated guess, those results in evidence on the Sep 29, Oct 4, Nov 1, Nov 29, and Dec 31 ex-dividend dates.

      Someday I wish I COULD just stay invested and collect dividends. I fact, I would LOVE it! I'm still trying to build my base to the point where maybe I could do that.

        I've played a little bit with div capture in qtrly div stocks and have done okay with it. But when you hold thousands of shares it's giant pain in the can to play that game. I don't see that much price fluctuation in the monthly payers though, which is the biggest reason I moved most of my money out of quarterlies and into monthlies. GLTU
