Benny122

Can anyone recommend some irish shares that would be worth buying now please? Ones that I could buy through shock broker

I'd have 1-5k to invest

Deposit rates have gone so bad

I'd reckon lock into BOI for a good few months wait for it to get to 38-40cent and sell off. Green REIT looks good too.

Have a read through Wexboys blog first, he does a fairly ok roundup of all the Irish co.s

A very simple way (and also get a better short term return than bank rates)would be to go through the all the stocks on ISEQ to identify those paying dividends and when. But be warned most are offering yields (but better than banks). small rates. Once you have this info you can buy before share goes ex-dividend and sell a day later. This will involve a number of transactions so you will need to determine (a) divi returns and (b) buy/sell charges, in order to determine if it is worthwhile. Buying/selling in a short time frame would also not expose you to any significant +/- SP movement (but it can and does happen).

For a much better dividend/yield I would focus on FTSE 100, where you will find sevral companies offering yields o 4%- 6%+! ( c x 4 times what you'll get on ISEQ).

Minimise broker charges by avoiding too many small transactions.

This is something that crossed my mind before and when I looked into it (correct me if I'm wrong by all accounts), companies / the markets are aware this is a strategy many will have and as a result, share prices are usually down the day(s) following a dividend payout (sometimes down by the same amount as the div itself).

With that in mind, would it typically be better off to hold on and wait for the share price to align itself a short-med time after the div payout?

Yes usually the market reacts on the dividend date. So if the dividend is 1% usually when the market opens the share price will be down 1%.

Very hard to get leverage on this type of trading as the div is built into the pre/post div market price.

The biggest barrier to trading this style on the ISEQ is the stamp duty.
