First n00by thread, here.

I hold some dividend paying shares at the moment. Their value is increasing, but as far as I am aware it is common for such shares to increase in value in the lead up to their payout date (Feb/Aug), then plummet immediately after.

In light of this, what are some of the things I should consider when deciding whether to sell the shares at their peak value, or hold on to the shares and collect the dividend?

Thanks in advance for the excellent replies...
