Could Rapidly Growing Yields Mean Problems for Your Dividend Stock?

Top Performing Dividend Stocks – January 2012
I have tried to capture dividends by buying one day prior to ex-dividend date and then selling on the ex-dividend date.
Some success but not overwhelming.
My real problem was purchasing SJM’s $5.00/share special dividend. I lost the $5.00 and more the day after I bought. SJM share price fell $5.00+.
I read that a special dividend adds value to the share price and you can lose it just like I did.
Can you relate?
Tim
On the ex-dividend date the stock trades without the dividend. So if the stock you purchased pays $5/share in dividends and it closed at $100/share on the day prior the ex-dividend date – It will open at $95 on the ex-dividend date.
Its not uncommon though that people will not realize what happened and the stock will trade higher for a few minutes. Usually by 9:35am EST the stock is back to its ex-dividend price.
Yes on up days you can really add some nice income by capturing dividends like that. If the market is down you may have to hang on a while to get the stock price back up.
