"Fair enough. And they are close enough."
OK, now that we have established that I am right ... lets look at your "close enough" assertion.
STW went ex-div on the 29 of September last year.
On that day, XJO was up +1.44%, STW was down -0.44%
Thats a differential of 1.88%.
1.88% translated into index points = 7,238 * 1.88% = 136 points
Would anyone suggest that XJO at 7,238 is "close enough" to XJO 7,374?
Thats not my definition of "close enough"
And STW definitely did not much XJO tracking that day, did it?
Now my esteemed friends, let us end my weekend stock market clinic with a quiz.
Currently, since the beginning of this quarter, XJO trails STW by 0.76% (a notional 55 index points)
By how much this gap will expand by the 27th of September the day before STW goes ex-dividend?
Hint: there are 3 ways you could go about it
1) Already discussed, assume same as last year (1.88%). Not a reliable method, company dividends were different, eg BHP
2) A laborious method, to be determined by the reader
3) A smart method, to be determined by the reader.
The first person with a correct answer, will be annointed Hotcopper's second best poster (after you know who) for a whole week.
