well in my example, assuming that you paid $1 for each share to begin with, you would need to sell each share you own for more than its revised 90 cent value as determined immediately after the dividend was issued in order to make a profit. The day of the dividend the value of each share on the open market should drop to 90 cents (though the market being somewhat inefficient this may not exactly happen)so you could actually make a little money or lose a little money based on the day after open market valuation if you sold on that day.
