You see, stock trades actually settle three days after the fact, even if you're a frequent trader who buys and sells the same stock several times a day. That means that you need to buy a stock three days before the record date in order to qualify for the dividend. Further complicating matters, the ex-date falls two trading days before the date by which you need to be a shareholder of record. We've established that the must-own date falls three days before the record date, so simple subtraction means that you must buy a stock one day before it goes ex-dividend.
Anybody who buys on the 10th or thereafter will not get the dividend. Another important note to consider: as long as you purchase a stock prior to the ex-dividend date, you can then sell the stock any time on or after the ex-dividend date and still receive the dividend.A common misconception is that investors need to hold the stock through the record date or pay date.s an example, ABC Inc declares a $1 dividend with an ex-dividend date of January 10th. Anybody who buys the shares on the 7th, 8th, or 9thâor any date prior to the 10thâwill get that dividend.
