    Friends need your views here,

    Lest take an example that I bought a 1000 shares at 50LKR and it started increasing.

    After few weeks,

    Share price is 59 while a dividend of 5 LKR is declared.

    Assuming the share is as good as above average, what is the best option?

    1. Take the capital gains and move out
    2. Wait for Dividend and decide

    - What is the best timing for a buy sell on a dividend declared share focusing the dividend or collecting for capital gains?

    Share price eka 54 ta adu unoth uba oya balan inna dividend eken wedak na.

    habai wadi unoth dividend ekath na extra capital gain ekath na.

    ube risk eka ekka hithala ganna ona decision ekak. Dividend eka declare kare lagadi nam unta ona wela athi thawa kattiya shares walata attract kara ganna. Ethakota mila wadiwenawa. Ehema wadi wela anthimata un shares tika profit aran exit unata passe tama ubalata kelawenne 🤦‍♂️
