{quote} Hi pal..... special dividends dont happen that often..... basically means, lets say you buy at £10pp and it drops 21points so you should get the £210 div while your trade is minus £210........ but with the special div you only get part of it but you wont know how much till after it happens

{quote} Who else trades the FTSE DIVI just "like" the post if you do, just interested on the numbers ...cheers
i wanted to take these trades in the beginning, but then i would have had to open an account with IG.
also, IG has strict margin rules and then i left it.
...but i think it's a good idea and maybe i'll do it later.
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

{quote} Don't have to trade just to get the DIVI, just go LONG straight after 16:31 that's what I would do, so you don't need to use IG...
