Frankly I only buy dividend shares (or stocks) and do Dividend Capturing. Buy the shares 2 days before ex dividend date and sell it on or after the ex dividend date. You can search most US & ASX shares for its ex dividend date at https://www.dividendmax.com/
“Dividend capture strategy returns are the trading technique of buying a stock just before the dividend is paid, holding it just long enough to collect the dividend, then selling it. If you can sell it for as much as you paid, you have “captured” the dividend at no cost, other than the transaction costs."
The only downside to this strategy is that "after a stock goes ex-dividend, the share price typically drops by the amount of the dividend paid to reflect the fact that new shareholders are not entitled to that payment."
