  • Bitcoin Price Analysis: Patience Spurs Long-Term BTC Bull Amid IPO-Like Liquidity Shift
    November 2, 2025, 10:26 AM EST. Bitcoin price action remains muted even as broader risk assets rally. In a widely shared essay, Jordi Visser argues BTC's consolidation is an IPO-like phase, not a setback, driven by evolving liquidity. Early investors are reportedly distributing positions slowly to avoid a price crash. On-chain data shows dormant coins waking up, while ETFs and institutional adoption build a new layer of liquidity for bitcoin. The Facebook/Meta IPO comparison highlights how patient capital can fuel a longer pause before a fresh move. The takeaway: a patient, long-term bullish stance may pay off as liquidity, regulatory clarity, and adoption continue to accrue, even if prices grind sideways for now.
  • Upcoming Dividend Run for SWX? Explaining ex-dividend dynamics and trading strategies
    November 2, 2025, 10:06 AM EST. Southwest Gas Holdings (SWX) faces the classic ex-dividend dynamic: on the ex-dividend date, the stock price often drops by the dividend amount, which can trigger a potential Dividend Run as traders position before payout. The piece explains eligibility, the price adjustment, and why a pre-ex-date rally can occur as investors anticipate cash flow. It also surveys common strategies-buy before ex-date and sell around or after the payout, or target a two-week window-as discussed at ValueForum. The example cites a 0.62 per-share dividend that went ex-dividend on 02/18/25 to illustrate timing and trading approaches around SWX.
  • Upcoming Dividend Run for MUR? Murphy Oil Ex-Dividend Dynamics
    November 2, 2025, 10:04 AM EST. Murphy Oil Corp (NYSE: MUR) faces a potential Dividend Run as traders weigh pre-ex-dividend moves. The ex-dividend date is when new buyers stop qualifying for the upcoming dividend; all else equal, the stock tends to drop by the dividend amount on that day to reflect the payout. Yet some investors expect a buildup ahead of the ex-date, prompting price pressure or a run higher before the payout. Trading strategies vary from buying before ex-div to capture the income, then selling, to other approaches focused on capital gains around the payout. In the example, a $0.325/share dividend for MUR went ex-div on 05/16/25, with discussion of a roughly ten-trading-day window before the ex-date to position for the move.
  • Upcoming Dividend Run for R? Ryder System and ex-dividend dynamics
    November 2, 2025, 10:02 AM EST. Dividend Run alerts aim to capture the built-in price dynamics around the ex-dividend date. On ex-date, buyers lose entitlement to the dividend, often pushing the stock lower by the payout amount, yet many investors look for a prior rally as the payout nears. The piece explains the mechanics and the variety of timeframes investors use: buy before ex-date and hold into the dividend, dollar-cost averaging, or sell the day before ex-date to maximize capital gains. Using Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R) as an example, with a recently cited $0.91 per-share dividend ex-dated on 08/18/25, the discussion highlights how expectations and market conditions can create a Dividend Run window, while noting differing viewpoints on timing.
  • Upcoming Dividend Run for BKH? Analyzing Ex-Dividend Dynamics in Black Hills Corporation
    November 2, 2025, 10:00 AM EST. Dividend Run alerts explore how the ex-dividend date creates a price move and a potential rally before payout. The idea hinges on the ex-date, when buyers lose entitlement to the dividend, typically nudging the stock down by the dividend amount while other factors drive prices. Traders debate timing: buy weeks before ex-date, hold through the dividend, and sell after, or target the last possible day to maximize capital gains. The discussion uses Black Hills Corporation (BKH) and its per-share dividend of 0.676 on 02/18/25 as a recent example. Some favor dollar-cost averaging; others seek a targeted window. The result is a nuanced picture of how investors chase a temporary Dividend Run around ex-dividend events.
