I just received a distribution from a mutual fund I own and noticed something similar...
Quoted: When I receive a 5 percent dividend, the value of a $10 share drops to $9.50. What have I gained? I also have to pay tax on the 5 percent dividend, so I've actually lost ground. Is this smoke and mirrors, or am I missing something?

1 FaverViewed: 4 TimesQuoted: There are two forms of exotic beta. 1) Apply "normal" strategies to "exotic" assets like investing in Namibian and Mongolian equities, timber, shipping freight, wine, uranium, art, movies, violins or footballers. Or 2) apply "exotic" strategies to "normal" securities with new trading styles and finding arbitrages in traditional markets. Personally I prefer alternative strategies for any security ("normal" or "exotic") but then as a risk averse, conservative investor I am not prepared to speculate on traditional OR exotic beta. They are too hazardous for my risk tolerance. Alpha is safer.
