RE: Dividend 16th or 18thThe record date is the 18th. In order to get your shares on the record you will have to purchase them on the 15th as it takes 3 days to get the data/payment for shares.... transferred.
On the 16th they are trading ex-dividend...in other words if you bought them today your ownership would not be recorded until the 19th...... and thats too late.
