Does anyone know of any good sites which give details of forthcoming dividend payments,thanks

np1009440: Ah if life were so simple!! The key issue here is that there is (nearly) always a dramatic change in the share price on the day that the share goes ex-div. In general, the share price will fall by exactly the cost of the dividend since that amount of cash is physically being removed from the company's assets and so its worth must fall by the same amount. Also don't forget that you will have dealers charges to account for when buying and selling that share.

Doh! Thats that plan scuppered.
