U can buy/hold till last date (last day before 5pm) before the EX-date. The morning after last date, u can wait to collect ur dividends on a new waiting payment date. Selling ur EX-dividends stocks is also available to U in open mkt and the price will usually drop accordingly less what ever amount. |

You will still be entitled to your dividends as long as you buy it before the ex date. but do remember, the price that you are buy before the ex date will likely factor in the dividend amount. Once, it is ex, the likelihood of the amount going down is highly likely. As the stock price will correct off the dividend amount payable to you. In short, buying before ex date is not worth it unless you are prepare to hold on this particular stock that you mentioned. |
