Do I understand correctly that you bought the stock only to receive one single dividend?

@DieEnte7 no, i bought Eni as a result of the war, the rising price of energy are supporting the oil&gas stocks so i wanted to make some % with them, we all know that the price are going up for the war and no one know how much can be longer, because when the war will end Brent/WTI prices will fall and with them all the oil&gas companies, so i decided to exit the stock after the dividend and take my 5-7% of "Easy" gain plus dividend in Just one week, so, the reason i bought Eni was not the dividend but the current situation, the dividend is just a point of reference, the point is to make a little insured gain.

@Kurama01 Alright. Makes a bit more sense that way, but generally speaking the single dividend does not really matter. There will likely be a price drop on the ex-day and overall you make neither loss nor profit out of it.

•@DieEnte7 i know that but not always the price fall the same amount of dividends, in this case the global scenario make me think that will be a small increase of the value despite the dividend, but also if the decline will be the amount of dividend i'm +7% up in Just 1 week, i'm more than fine with it, anyway if today the price increase and make me a +10% i will sell

@Kurama01 sorry how do you calculate this +7% ? To understand the reasoning , it may be that the value of the share does not fall on the ex-dividend day by the exact amount of the dividend but during the day you recover a minimum , but you can never be at +7% otherwise everyone would put their house on it 😁 I am almost at +65% with Eni ... I wait dividend then I think that part of the position I will sell ... I will regret ... but I have them in charge at 14€....
