mono-stereo Well to clarify, the technique I described is how you can do it.
I bought the shares in the current test place a month ago (over several small batches which avoided the cost of trading) and they’ve went up 30% since then so I’ll get the dividend and even if they fall, I can either sell up and still make some money out of it on top of the dividend or just wait it out - the entire Stock market is depressed for various industries at the moment so if you can wait, it’s relatively risk free really.
It’s more scary if you want to literally put money in the day before and pull it back out the day after for sure - I think realistically only day traders can do that though as they can buy / sell during pre & post market hours which Joe bloggs like me and you can’t.
