An Unconventional Dividend Investing Idea

I'm thinking about a long term strategy for investing in dividend stocks (with good earnings growth) where you sell to stock on the ex-dividend date (so you do not actually collect the dividend), but then buy the stock on the next day (when it is trading without the dividend). This way you can sell the stock at the premium that people will pay for the dividend,

and buy it when the price is lower because it's trading without that dividend. This is similar to a dividend reinvesting approach, however reinvesting the dividends in a stock requires a lot of capital invested in the stock, if you want to buy more shares with the dividends. You also get the dividends months after the ex-dividend date, so this is a quicker and more way to achieve a similar effect that focuses purely on capital gains, and can be executed with smaller amounts of capital. It's kind of a reverse dividend capture. I have not seen this idea anywhere.

Jajaja que listo eres, eso no se le había ocurrido a nadie nunca en la historia.
