Help please, Don't tell me it's a dumb question! I bought stock ''XXX'' The day before it went ex dividend how soon can I sell it and still get the dividend? 1. I can sell it on the ex dividend day as long as I owned it at the open ? 2. I have to keep it the whole ex dividend day and can sell it the next day? 3. I have to keep it 3 full trading days in my account to get the dividend? Let's see how many answers I get Thanks
you have no business trading if you can not learn to educate yourself... if you know how to participate on a forum, you should know how to handle google.com or even books.google.com http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470466014/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller= and free answers... http://www.sec.gov/answers/dividen.htm http://books.google.com/books?id=jS...d=0CFwQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=ex-dividend&f=false
I think he's he's trolling. Consider how long he's been on the board and the level of the questions he's recently asked. They're Investing 101, or maybe Investing Preschool.
