Wow. So that means you have +-R30M invested if they all in stocks.

Interesting Lamak, were you trying the "buy for the divi then sell" strategy?

@Lamak, it worked surprisingly well. I know Mr Div was looking into this in real life, Mr Div what happened to that? In theory you should have lost the equivalent amount in sales that you made up in divvies, but that's not what happened. The only difference between real life and the game in this case is liquidity. This really deserves looking into...

In the comp we get paid divies on LDT day and not when the actual payment gets paid or when the price goes ex divie. Lamak sold before ex divie day and scored that way. The Record Date for IPF was 15th and he sold on the 13th which was the LTD day. The payment date was 19th. This will never work in real life.

Not so Orca, the price drops after LDT, usually a friday, but if he sells on a weekend the prices is readjusted after monday mornings opening prices. Also look at some of his trades, the sales often happen many days after the divvie. I'm finding it very interesting!
