We are well positioned...shame about the SP.

Hence the saying "markets can be irrational"...

I pick 10c special plus 15c final.

Thinking about dipping my toe into the share market, so on a steep learning curve.... could someone clear this up for me : if I have 5000 shares with a 25c per share dividend the pay out is (5000 * .25) = $1250 ? Is this correct?

Yes plus there is the tax credit. But the day the share goes Ex-Dividend the share price opens 25 cents less than the previous close.

Speaking from my own experience in more general terms (not just in relation to AIR), a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Be careful out there.

everyone here would love to see the SP staying same or go higher after ex-div declared lol

interesting all the buyers there I have it broken support at 2.13 so they look likely to get filled I guessing on the way to 2.05

Bidders right on 210 as I type, will be an interesting finish for the day and next few days trading as well...

[Gizzajob I can do that]

The only problem with this theory is that you will likely lose x amount before you gain x amount, be carefull

If you're going to roll the dice (which is really what it is at this point). Can I recommend you break your 5,000 up into chunks to help soften if you get your timing wrong (which is likely given your inexperience - I'm not being mean, just honest).

Why not buy $3,330 worth when it looks like it hits the bottom here. That way you've got more 'if' it breaks $2.02 and goes down to ~$1.80, otherwise you'll put all your money in, and if it goes lower, you'll feel like you did bad and likely pull it all out anyways, or, do what most of these guys have done and throw good money after bad.

If you're going to dice roll, maybe do it in three phases. e.g. ~$3,330 parcels each time, you're only paying 1% fee, and if what you think will happen is correct, then you will make that part back in divs. It'll help soften the possibility of bad timing...
...I'm not advising you do or don't invest, just have a planned approach to doing so.
