Some will pin it on the RBA and its 'QE Mullet' (trimmed at the front, extensions at the back) and that's just fine. Also, going ex-dividend is an excellent expression. I myself have gone ex-div several times already today. Following suit on Tuesday were cool sounding companies like

The S&P/ASX200 somehow closed up around five points on Monday ending a very unexpected day of trade. The undeniable pluck shown by the little index that could, came in the face of surging COVID-19 numbers, US non-farm payroll weakness and an ex-div Fortescue Metals Group (FMG), crashing 11.2%, taking the materials sector and the broader index with it. Pro Medicus (PME) sold off about 6%, while Lendlease (LLC) slumped 4.3% after a downgrade over at Morgan Stanley.But it was a stock you’ve never
