Blood clots sometimes form within prolapsed external hemorrhoids, causing an extremely painful condition called a thrombosis. If an external hemorrhoid becomes thrombosed, it can look rather frightening, turning purple or blue, and could possibly bleed.
Quarterly Payments. The most common frequency for dividend payments for American companies is quarterly. Dividends are declared and paid four times a year. Many companies make the dividend announcement along with the release of the quarterly earnings report and the dividend is paid a few weeks later.
How long do I have to hold a stock to receive a dividend? I saw this about my stock. The quarterly dividend will be payable on August 3, 2009 to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 6, 2009. If I decide to buy more shares on July 6th and sell July 7th, am I still going to receive the dividends? Or do I have to hold it till Aug 3? Thanks.
