RE:RE:RE:RE:ENB.T $ 54.08 ;>OYou are right, patterns work till they don't. One day it may not drop much post dividend. I agree the $10 swings on an 86 cent divy makes no sense at all but I learned a long time ago not to try to foiight the market. and I can happily live with it. Pipelines aren't getting built so long term this company has a future for at least a couple of decades. I don't try to forecast final SP. What I will do next quarter is sell at anything over 55.25. I use the previous high as my guide to sell. Then buy back like I will this time once the downdraft seesm to have stopped. somewhere 2 to 5 weeks from today. 3 to 4 days of steady closes higher 3 or more weeks out usually means it has bottomed. Worse come to worse, I am sitting on a bunch of ENB and collecting the Divy like I did for decades prior to starting to trade it more actively.

It's odd that ENB would trend down $10 though (From $55 to $45) & trend up again simply to collect an .86c dividend. The math makes no sense.
Where do you see the stock heading over the next 3 months, then again near ex dividend date?
Thank you and excellent collaboration on this board.

Have been a real long term holder of ENB, like 20 years, but tired of the pony ride and even a 6% dvidend doesn't make up for no capital appreciation the last 5 years. Had sold the first half at 54 a couple of months back. This will dive again after Dividend is paid out.
