RE: RE: RE: RE: WTF?Daisy.... it depends on dates,,, you purchase on a date.... it takes three days to clear and be in your account. Now you have the ex div date and the payment date.... If your broker enroll's you in the drip program, even if you tell them a few days before the payment date and you get the dividend in shares thats great...........
My Broker is TD Waterhouse.... I have to give the instruction before the ex div date.
I mostly only take the dividend in shares when they are offered with a premium or discount.
Dats my 2 cents :)
