dividends are irrelevant... name of the game is buy back.. nowadays.
Hate to say but that is a personal opinion. You must be a day trader hahaha. FYI Institutions that buy back their shares, keep their dividend.
 
I like the idea but I also tried to find those where the dividend is likely to grow beyond what the market expects. My yields went up as a result. But I got an extra 1-2% as a result of this. Not fun. So I just have a basket of dividend stocks in multiple industries and just DRIP blindly occasionally checking Fool for the new hotness (got some good tips from there)

When a strong DA stock approaches ex-dividend date. I notice a pattern , the stock price stabilizes with less volatility. IMO institutional traders are long for the dividend.
There are many ways to take advantage of the pattern.

I meant that any advantage of div paying stocks are already priced in. I long term hold. Especially stuff that does not pay divs lol. I may even argue that due to income seekers hunger for yield, div paying stocks maybe overpriced.

if 20-year experience is called novice... value investing is long dead, in the traditional sense when 'value' is defined on conventional matrix... including div yields.. back test.
