Vannvittig dividende!

Nå er jeg helt fersk i markedet, men vil ikke kursen falle ca 2,5 kr når utbytte er betalt?

De tar jo ut penger av selskapet så de blir jo på så måte mindre verdt. Det er ikke dermed sagt at aksjen skal ned den dagen den går ex-utbytte. Ved sist utbytte 0.05$ så gikk aksjen opp på ex-utbytte.

nå tenker jeg ikke på pengene tilhørende selskapet, for det er jo noe uavhengig av kursen, men vil ikke noen kun kjøpe seg inn den 27. for så å selge igjen for å få utbytteprofitt (som er rundt 2,5 kr aksjen)?

 

Hva er det jeg ikke ser i dette bildet?

Pengene til selskapet har jo noe med kursen og gjøre da verdi på aksjene forteller hvor mye et selskap er verdt.

 

Ja noen kommer sikkert til å spekulere i å hoppe inn ut over natt for å hente utbytte.

Merk at jeg også skrev noe :)

Jo merket meg det.

 

US bulk litt blandet, mest opp er Freeseas Paragon Shipping med hhw 6 og 3.8 %

 

Excel Maritime er ned 9% da de ikke har innfridd forventningene hos analytikerne.
