And if it is quarterly spread usually the dividend is priced in. That’s why the quote is lower than the actual price.

For example I opened a trade on Royal dutch shell for September when the share price was 1500 but I bought the future at 1479. When the ex-dividend was arrived the price has been balanced.

Those who read my blog on a regular basis know that I have a lot of respect to Simon Griffin from Shares magazine. That’s why when he recommended to buy BAE systems I read his explantions and openned my spread betting platform and bought it for 341 (June) I put a stop loss at 315 and my target is 420.

With BAE I have 4 shares on my protfolio:

I am still a bit disappointed with Shell. But for the long run I think it is a good buy.

And this is what has happened on Friday. I’ve bought it at 1482 for long investment.

The good thing about the current economic crices is that you can find good companies cheap. The way I see it is that we are not at the bottom yet but we are not so far from there. So I rather start and buy shares that I’ve wanted for long time in cheap price. Other companies that I am looking to buy are Tesco, Google, Microsoft, BA & BT. All of them are closing down to the price that I would consider buying them.

Royal Dutch Shell just did it on Friday and I am quite happy that they are now part of my protfolio.
