I think Chad's final comment is the nietresting one. Let's say that you found three or four dividend paying stocks that you like, whose quarterly x-dividend dates are all different. Also say you did it in an IRA or 401k- so the added taxes would not matter. If you could capture four 5% dividends a year with the same $, you would lose the price appreciation, and surely some of the 20% in transaction fees and losses by selling post x-dividend, but you might get a consistent return of 10-15% after expenses. It should also be noted that sophisticated investors also use options to hedge the potential price decline. Conceivable you could also use leverage, especially if you hedge the risk.It seems possible that in exchange for some serious work you might be able to get a pretty decent and predictable return.
