Dividends, Stock Splits & Bonus

Early in January, Kuldeep had written about various Income Streams in Equities, which is a very useful bunch of information. Just in case you have missed it, Click Here

This article is in line with the same and a step forward in the same path...

In stock market,
- Dividend is one of the major source of tax-free income to the investors.
- Stock split is another mode through which the companies boost their liquidity and thereby unleash their potential for the long term.
- Bonus is a time when the companies decide to reward their shareholders.

Each one of the above is an evidence that a Company is doing good and to us as retail investors, this gives ample opportunities to "harvest from stocks"...There are a lot of stocks that pay rich dividends periodically. There are a lot of stocks that split periodically and there are a lot of stocks that issue bonus stocks periodically. The most challenging thing is Time and Timely Information!

I personally have missed to benefit from these opportunities on many occasions due to lack of time and information. For long, I wanted to find a solution to overcome this and ride on these opportunities. And, I believe, now the Time has come and I want to make this beneficial to everyone in this forum.

I have developed a system that provides a solution. Here is what it does:
It captures the information of all corporate actions and filters the ones that are approaching in the near term and post them in the blog automatically on a daily basis.
To begin with, this is the filter criteria.
Starting Date: 5 days from current date.
Ending Date: 15 days from starting date.

Hope this would benefit all those who would like to ride on such opportunities. :-)

Keep Visiting the Forum and Happy Harvesting from Stocks!!! :-)

Any queries/clarifications, feedbacks/comments are most welcome... :-)

Cheers

  1. Selva, Its a great compilation of figures and facts for the Dividends/bonuses of the companies, hope these dates are the book closing dates which you have mentioned here,
    Great efforts, Is it that you are manually compiling it or you are getting it consolidated by any software means,....!!!

  2. Thanks Kuldeep. The date is actually Ex-date. Wherever Record Date is given it is also displayed. Ex-Date is only available for all the stocks. Hence I have taken that as base. Also Ex-date is normally before Record Dates. So it would be better from that perspective as well.

    It is not manual compilation. It is automated. :-)
