Help on Dividend stocks

[bullsback]

i have one curious question, when did u start to build your dividend portfolio?

If assuming u were to have the portfolio prior to 2008, say 2005-2007 time, how do u handle your portfolios when during the 2008 crisis some reits drop by 50% or more.

also for reits, whenever, they ask for rights, u pump cash in them? if so, is that that defeatish assuming if your purpose is to receive dividends instead of paying money out which exceeds all the dividends they are providing.

As long as you hold the shares until XD, you will get the dividend.

Example, the next XD for Singpost is 13 November. If you hold the shares until 13 November, you will get the dividends. If you sell the shares before 13 November, you will not get the dividends.

do u notice any stock price difference before and after getting the dividend?do stock price increase prior to the dividend date?

As soon as the stock goes ex-div, the price should drop by the amount of the dividend. I think stock prices do go up ahead of ex-dividend dates, which is a bit weird - that really shouldn't happen, because the dividend should already be priced in.

Any smart cookies out there want to investigate whether stocks deliver excess returns over the index between the dividend announcement date and the ex-div date? Might be a masters thesis in that. (I feel like the effect might be stronger in Singapore than in Europe or the USA, because there isn't a developed market in divvy derivatives in SG.)

I only have this chart to infer that different level of dividends dont give excess return

Mmm, no, not what I'm after. My question was more along the lines of: do stocks deliver excess return between the date the dividend's been announced and the ex-div date - i.e., while they're showing up on people's dividend screens and being bought as part of naive dividend-capture strategies.

I love this chart so much. It's not so much suggestive of excess returns to dividends as it is of rampant insider trading around dividend announcements.

Anyway, it seems like excess returns during the cum-div period are still an unsolved problem. Any aspiring masters students want to have a crack at this?

need data source
u can provide data source in a nice excel sheet maybe someone here willing to do it
- daily time series open,close,high,low of all stocks and STI. unadjusted for stock splits and dividends prices
- dividend dates, value of dividend

 

[choonlim]

you can get all these fundemental data from shareinvestor in a nice excel sheet. Compare them side by side, apple to apple
no need software

Sorry to sound dumb as I am new... I have got a membership from share investor...but the fundamental fact sheet view is by company per page, where can I find the link/icon for the nice excel file that includes all companies?
