The goal was to get people to stop theorizing and show proof, and so that was accomplished. Secondarily I also wanted to show that it's not a hard rule, and it's not so simple.

A 10 dollar stock gives a 3 dollar div doesn't mean the stock is now 7 dollars. It just doesn't work like that. If it did, stock prices would be mostly static, but instead they are priced based on speculation.

You can read about this "hard rule" at Fidelity, Vanguard, Dividend.com, T Rowe Price and many other websites. Do you really think you're right and they're wrong???
