Opinion: Nowâs the time to buy stocks â the stars are aligned. Published: Feb 9, 2016 2:11 p.m. When media fear is highest and insiders are buying, youâre probably close to a stock market bottom. Exxon Mobil has strong cash flow, supporting a dividend yield close to 4%.
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.

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.
