The drop right after the ex dividen day suppose to reflect all the dividen they riets pay to shareholders, and it also reflect some people can claim back the 20% tax. I cannot claim any tax return so if i direct get the dividen would cost me more since the 20% dividen tax is much more than 2x...

sell before the ex-dividen date then buy back only costs me transection fee while I earn through the whole year holding without the 20% dividen tax. I just want to see if I miss anything.

Why do you stay over there? Because of girls?

Is it down? That's why I am here:twisted:

Before you trade anything every month, you are losing $134 + VAT monthly fee already and don't sound like you know what you really want and plan, then how to trade? More is not better.

I am planning to use these two services, does anyone have experience? How is it?

I read Interactive Brokers (IB) profile and it seems like they only make money by being electronic broker and market maker. Do they invest a lot by their own money? I know the boss is great but I am not sure if he personally invests money or the company generates money by "investing" everyday.
