T E asked:


A friend sells his stock whenever the stock drops 7% after purchase or his cost. That strategy saved him a lot in the past year when the market dropped about 50%. However, that also means, he lost all his gains with his stocks when the stock market dropped.

Should he have a strategy to sell after GAINING, say 50%, and then re-buy the stock back, while maintaing the SELLING strategy of 7% of cost?

David Y asked:


I see this:

Company X declared a quarterly dividend of $1.85 per share, payable Oct. 31 to shareholders of record on Sept. 29.

Does that mean I only need to buy the stock on that date to receive the dividend? Can I sell it the next day? How long do I need to hold the stock? Do I need to own it before the declared date? I just want to know of all the people and buy and sell the stock, how do they determine who gets the dividend?

So I own stock and mine doesn’t pay a dividend, but i am thinking about cashing in my current stock and put my money in some stock with a high dividend yield. I was just wondering if there is a certain time length that you must keep your money in that particular dividend stock to qualify for the dividends, or if the company starts paying you the first quarter that you own the stock…
