RE:Dividend question from greenhorn ???
You qualify for the November Divy payable in December for whatever the amount of Shares you possessed in your account at the Close of the markets on Nov. 25th. Doesn't matter if you may have sold them off the next day on the 26th, 27th, or even on Monday 30th..... only matters what you possessed on Nov. 25th at the Close. Of course if you had day-traded them on the 25th, and closed out to zero shares, then you will not have a Dividend coming.
