In addition to high
returns, the valuation should be fair. This is the main reason why I screen
every day tomorrow’s best ex-dividend stocks by yield and market capitalization.
A full list of all stocks with payment dates can be found here: Ex-Dividend Stocks January 17, 2013. In total, 6 stocks and preferred shares go ex dividend - of which 1 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 2.52%.
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.
