[sharechat] Dividend Stripping

From:	"Michael Gore" <michgore@paradise.net.nz>

Hi! I've been reading the messages from Jeremy and Oliver and I was wondering if someone could explain dividend stripping for the benefit of newbies like me. I understand that this is buying shares in a company immediately before a dividend payout and then selling immediately after in the hope that the share price drops by less than the dividend paid out but this is all I know. Can anyone enlighten me further? For example how often does it actually work that the dividend is greater than the share price drop? regards michael
