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€....

•@Sidespin1976 I had not seen the notification, sorry, anyway 7% was meant as capital gain + dividend yield, so receiving a dividend of 1.5% I would need a capital gain of 5.5%, maybe take a dividend of 7% a pop. For example I given the succession of geopolitical events have decided to still hold the position on Eni which marks me a nearly 9%, in addition to the dividend received which based on my book price should be 1.26% type, so I would already be over 10% gross realized in about ten days, obviously until I sell it's just a little number on the screen but following recent events I think I'll keep the investment for a while longer. As for your choice you don't have to regret it at all, you made your gain and selling is never wrong as long as you are in the positive, it's the only way to say that you made that money for real, otherwise have a good day and happy investing!

@Kurama01 Eni I'm at +73% over dividends taken in almost 2 years ... I'm not reducing the position I'll let it run or go down if it wants and reincrease :))
