Also notice that D opened .16 higher and CAG opened .07 higher.

Hopefully the dividend tax cut will pass to make this strategy even better.

A few of today's ex-dividends that worked out great from yesterday: CBO div of .43 a share...only opened down .19 CCB div of .51 a share...only opened down .12 JPT div of .46 a share...opened down .52 but has run up and is currently down .30 So if you can find some non volatile stocks,like...

I'm talking one day,maybe a few days max.

Another example...CBNJ went ex-dividend today.Pays a dividend of $1.05 a share.Stock closed at 21.10 yesterday and opened higher today at 21.50.Would have been a 13.7% return,both dividend and gain together,overnight in a margin account. So sometimes the strategy works out very well.

Here is an example of ELUX that went ex-dividend on 4/21.It paid a dividend of $1.21 per share.Dropped on 4/21 but has made a nice gain since its 4/17 closing price in addition to the dividend...http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ELUX&d=c&t=5d&l=on&z=b&q=l

Why not just buy it on the day before the ex-dividend date and sell it on the ex-dividend date?

I have noticed that stocks sometimes don't drop by the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date.Sometimes they open higher.If anyone has some good experience buying stocks before the ex-dividend date and selling on the ex-dividend day,please share and let us know if this is a worthwhile...

This might be a stupid question but...if you buy a stock on the day before the ex-dividend date,i assume that you are entitled to the dividend even if you sell your position the next day on the ex-dividend date?

Does anyone know how you go about getting a Nasdaq market making job?What kind of work and educational background do they look for?How are they paid?And if anyone has done this or is currently,what are your experiences overall?

No more Supersoes.As of December 2,all nasdaq stocks are on supermontage,which trades with all MM's and ecn's,except isld and inca.But in my opinion,ARCA is the best way to trade nasdaq,since they trade with all mm's and ecn's.So that is your 1 nasdaq route.

The level 2 book i look at shows the complete island and instinet books.It was showing Island and CINN mirroring each other,and Instinet and ADFN mirroring each other.So i just filtered out ADFN and CINN from the level 2 book.

Vegasoul,what stocks do you trade...care to shed your trading style?

Gordon,what stocks are you trading? I focus only on nasdaq.The fills are quick,the stocks have good volatility,and you never get traded through.I currently focus on msft,qcom,nvls,klac,and qlgc,trading anywhere from 1000-2000 shares at a time.I watch a tick chart of the sp 500 futures(not...

Anyone know if ARCA interacts with AMEX on nasdaq trades?Anyone also know if ARCA sends orders to Supermontage to trade with MM's and all ECN's?

After that,we'll have options on options on options on options qqq futures.

Limiting yourself to a penny or two loss per share is ridiculous and absurd.You'll get stopped out almost every time.On losing trades,I generally prefer no more than 1/2-1% of the stock price.If i'm focusing on a $30 stock,i look to lose no more than 30 cents and look to make at least 50...

Will INCA send orders to Supermontage to trade with MM's and ecn's(besides ISLD),even though it's not participating in Supermontage?
