For those with CFD's:

172 points this Friday on T40 Cash.  Don't seem like much but let me educate you:

On a Micro contract : 1 pip = R2 and minimum contract is x2 = R688
On a Mini contract: 1 pip = R10 and mimimum contract is x2 = R3340
On Full contract:  1 pip = R50 and minimum contract  is x1 = R8600

See what I'm getting at? 

When I first started trading CFD's I went in with all or nothing attitude as usual, ignorance is bliss after all.   I had 3 full contracts, forgot about dividends on CFD's and that Friday afternoon @ 17:00 my trading acc was credited with R30 000+. Only then I remembered about divvies on indexes, luckily for me I was long, if I was short, R30 000+ would have been deducted from my acc. instantly.  At that stage 1 pip was equal to R100.

So when I trade cfd's now, thirst thing I look for is when the next big dividend is and set alarms to my i-phone, i-pad, and any other schedule tool or app I can get my hands on. 

Hope this helps somebody to not make this mistake I've almost made. :)

Where does one find these stats? Want to add the history for BBET40 and STXDIV.

If you are with a broker they may have a fact sheet which you can access which lists nature of business directors, trade names shares in issue highest and lowest price (normally 12 months) and dividends declared to date - check with your broker how you can access this fact sheet for the info you are looking for

For satrix divi look here: http://www.satrix.co.za/products/satrix%20divi.aspx under dividend distribution announcements. I've added the June 28 dividend, it'll get paid this weekend. The September dividend isn't out yet. Check the website for BBET40.

Needs to be put into the table on page one. I've done it. Amount was 20.37... as the rest was held for tax. The April distribution was before the competition started, so doesn't come in to play.
