ok the truth will prevail on 7th may... but according to ur post, i sold ON the day of XD which is 20th april... so i am entitled ah... if you sell a stock before the ex-dividend date, you will not receive the dividend, but if you sell on or after the ex-dividend date, you will. | ||||

you don't have to assume I am right, because that is how the dividend system work.. you are very right, sometimes, don't fool by the fat dividend, the XD date, some BB sells down merciless, why? I don't know either.. but definitely not small fish like you and me selling.. so, you will be disappointed on May 7... you should sell one day before the XD.. which is $2.05... because you sell at low during XD, but no dividends... but okay la... 2% only... ikan billis la..

no problem, we should know this by our heart... so, when you see CD in stocks screen, usually, stock will correct their price at XD, and worst sometimes, after the book close. take ST engineering stock as an example, I am waiting and waiting and waiting to get a cheaper price, but the price stay so strong at $2.50 due to the high 5% dividend...... dividend on April 28 ex date is $128. Assume, next Monday ST engineering still $2.50 , Tuesday, you will see the price will be corrected to $2.50 - $0.128 = $ 2.37 roughly .. my experience tell me , (at this market trend), it will correct more than the dividend payout, starthub is just one example... but again, it will bounce back quickly, look at M1.

folks, you have to be clear with this dividend date, this is the basic.. let me extract from the formal definition from the web: I underline the most important thing you should and must know... What are Ex-Dividend Dates?The ex-dividend date is the day on which all shares bought and sold no longer come attached with the right to be paid the most recently declared dividend. This is an important date for any company that has many stockholders, including those that trade on exchanges, as it makes reconciliation of who is to be paid the dividend easier. More » Why do Ex-Dividend Dates Matter?A dividend-paying stock's ex-dividend date is very important to investors. In a nutshell, if you buy a dividend stock before the ex-dividend date, then you will receive the next upcoming dividend payment. If you purchase the stock on or after the ex-dividend date, you will not receive the dividend. The converse of this rule also holds true -- if you sell a stock before the ex-dividend date, you will not receive the dividend, but if you sell on or after the ex-dividend date, you will. |

Yup... don't be a small boat being tossed about and smacked every other day by the market waves... Just set your cut-loss point and ride it up... But this tip doesn't apply to the pennies... For pennies, one should only have bought at a low, low floor price And not after it has risen!...  |

Nah, dun worry too much for this defensive stock. It's extremely resilient. Just on dividends has given me quite a lot already. Almost 10%. Yesterday bought in again. In this uncertain times, this is a safe buy. Haha... | ||||
