Chuck,
I am convinced. Dividends are bad news. And with recent US tax changes they will not
be going away anytime soon.
Are the big dividend payouts rare enough that they can be ignored in practice?
I hope the answer is Yes, because I can not see any easy way to compensate (other
than manually checking all trade candidates for recent dividends - too much tedious
work for my liking.)
