So a stock can be in an up trend or down trend without any regard to the div. But often its only the next day or two down that you often see a drop equal to the exact amount of money paid out.
Think about all the miners with Divs that are on lows lately. Its almost like a no brainer. If Gold goes up they all go up and you locked in extra shares on the lows. DRD, SBSW, SCCO, IMPUY, CMCL, BTG, AUY, AEM, some Steel Divs: LIFZF, FSUGY, VALE, SID, TX, etc. I generally prefer buying good performers and if it has a p/e and a div, that’s even better.
