You don't know what your talking about buddy! This is the way it works . Do a little homework here n get your facts straight.
Pretty sure my facts are straight for a Canadian trading on the TSX where we have settlement is T+2. Maybe you are an American trading on a US exchange where things are different.
If you buy before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend. If you buy on or after, you do not. The ex-dividend date is the first day of trading
without dividend entitlement (hence the 'ex'). The Record Date is the day the dividend is assigned to shareholders of record. Generally, this is two days from the day before the ex-dividend date (or one day after ex-dividend date) given T+2 settlement rules.
