The
ex-dividend date is a major date related to the payment of dividends. If you
purchase a stock on its ex-dividend date or later, you will not receive the
next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend. If you purchase
before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend. It is important that your
broker settles your trade before the ex-dividend date.
