Q: Good morning,
I am thinking of taking a capital loss on TOU, and with the proceeds buy WCP for 30+days. Plan is to take 2 months of the monthly dividend of WCP, and then buy TOU back in early September ahead of the $0.50 ex-dividend date. I know I will miss the TOU $0.35 dividend next month with this strategy, but from purely a dividend payout strategy, it is accretive.
Anything I am missing with this strategy?
Thx as always.
