RE: RE: Ex dateIn the US selling and buying back the next day is a wash sale. You can't claim a gain or loss until you sell it for the final time. But legally you can still do it - I do it when a stock jumps or dives just after I buy it.
The ex-dividend date is Dec 29 so no chance of selling PBG before then. You can sell PBEGF though. The US market is open on the 28th,
On Dec 27 I picked up more shares of PBEGF at $43.00 betting that this PBG-PMG split will have some positive impact on PBG price.
