Sell before ex date ? 😱

SR050321
2022-08-18

As we know before ex date price usually rally, so i did experiment with my $OVERSEA-CHINESE BANKING CORP(O39.SI)$Bullish

Previous div i sold before ex date, bought $12.23 sold $12.37 i thought it will dip alot (scared) so i profit only 0.14 while div 0.28.

Bought back after ex date $11.93 (lucky)

The recent div, i did not sell before ex date, the highest rally $12.46, i just keep it, and today price has moved up to $12.36 ! Means i got dividend 0.28 and the price almost backto pre-div price.

I also sold my $WILMAR INTERNATIONAL LIMITED(F34.SI)$before ex date $4.18 thinking to buy back when dip, now after div the price already 4.18 again ! So i can not buy back for now [Smile] 

Moral of story : if like the stock for long term just keep it permanently is ok, unless have few lots and want to take profit and buy other company with better fundamental/undervalued. 

not easy decision to make, invest wisely my friends πŸ’•

    I noticed this trend for Sg stocks too, when the ex div date is approaching, the buyers will push the price up, and after that sell off.

      Yes especially reits, but sometimes unable to get back just like my experience with Wilmar. If it dip back to $4 i will buy again. Ocbc i can get back, but not all.
