Shares / High yielding dividend income strategy questions
« on: August 04, 2014, 06:38:21 pm »
Read a book from the UK once upon a time about this but can't for the life of me remember the title.

Idea is to grow your portfolio from dividend payouts by buying high quality high yielding dividend stocks and then selling the shares after the dividend payout. Obviously volumes need to be large enough to cover buy and sell transactions fee's.

The assumption is that the high quality stocks are not very volatile to safe guard against massive price fluctuation upon entry and exit.

1. When is the latest you can purchase a stock as close to the dividend payout date?

2. Is there a rule as to how long you need to own the stock for after the dividend payout?

3. Anything else one should take note of with a strategy like this?

Nice for checking stocks with divis at a glance and allows you to track your portfolios.

Off topic / Accuratley calculating portfolio performance
« on: January 10, 2014, 10:36:20 pm »
Been scratching my head over this. Anyone care to check me and confirm my logic is sound. Patrick and gcr's response's in this old thread of mine has got me thinking about this. http://www.shareforum.co.za/off-topic/anyone-paid-off-their-bonds-before-investing-in-equities/

Calculator here doesn't help me with this, as it only allows you to punch in a fixed return(interest) without being able to factor the return should a lump sum have been invested in the beginning of the year, which will give you a different return over a 1 year period, than if you split the lump sum equally over the 12months. Not sure if I'm making sense.

A stock returns 35% dividends reinvested over the last year had one invested a lump sum at the beginning of the year.

I want to calculate performance and end amount should a lump sum of, oh lets say, 1mil invested at the start of the year + 30k monthly deposits over 5 years assuming the stock continues to return the same every year.

Obviously investing only 30k every month over that period will not allow you to achieve a 35% return. A thumb suck result to be around 15% or so.

Am right in saying on the 1mil lump sum invested at the start, the return would be 35%, and on the 30k monthly investments 15%.

Then in the second year, total invested(lump sum+monthly deposits) + returns will again earn a 35% return, and the 30k monthly investment 15% and so on for the remaining years?

Off topic / anyone paid off their bond/s before investing in equities?
« on: October 08, 2013, 10:48:03 pm »
Got about a year left or perhaps less to zero the primary residence bond. Reduced the monthly installments by 75% over the last 3 years. Sitting on the sidelines watching the market is frustrating as hell! Cashed all previous STX investments in to move to bond and have made considerable lifestyle adjustments to throw plus minus 75-80% of nett income at it. Have no short term debt either.

Also got 2 bonded rental properties which I can start attacking a year later 1 by 1. This approach would guarantee passive income for life from the end of year 2 and 3, then start chucking all earned surpluses at STXIND,FINI,RAFI,RESI etc. to build up to my 8mil magic mark OR I'm leaning towards chucking the surplus at STXIND instead as soon as the primary residence bond is zeroed for that 8mil mark.

Keen to hear who's done this or also doing aiming for and what your experiences have been.
