RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Heading back to $4 ? ex divi day is the 12th meaning if you buy on the 12th it is trading ex divi meaning no divi for you if you bought today you will get the divi as it is not yet trading ex divi, the record date is the 15th meaning that is the day you are recorded as an owner, it takes 3 full business days to legitimize a transaction so any trades made on the 12 will not be considered completed until after trading closes on the 15th which means you are not a share holder on the 15th but as of the 16th. thats how it works capice
