Tibetan Black Yak, Native Black, or Simply Black. Yaks of the following color types and patterns are found in the United States. Other markings and color patterns, including white, grey, and line back are common in other countries. Although not settled science, more is being learned all the time through breeder cooperation within the International Yak association, from the literature available from other countries, and ongoing DNA analysis.
The payment date (or âpay dateâ) is the day when the dividend checks will actually be mailed to the shareholders of a company or credited to brokerage accounts. The declaration date is the day on which a companyâs board of directors announces its next dividend payment. Also known as the âannouncement date,â this is the least important date for dividend investors to consider.
Consider an example. Assume company Alpha has declared a dividend of $1 payable on May 1, 2015 to shareholders of record as of April 10, 2015. The record date is therefore April 10, 2015 and the ex-dividend date is two business days before the record date, or April 8, 2015.If Sam wishes to receive the dividend of $1 per Alpha share, she should buy the stock before its ex-dividend date.If she buys Alpha shares on April 7, her trade will settle on April 10; since she is a shareholder of record as of April 10, she will receive the dividend.he ex-dividend date is set for stocks two business days before the record date. It is also important to account for the U.S. T+3 system for the settlement of stocks, which stipulates that it takes three business days to fully process a transaction.
