Buying stocks before the ex-dividend date is simple.
If you buy a stock before the ex-dividend date and hold them, you will receive
the next dividend. Buying high yielding stocks is not a one way strategy to
high returns.
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 February 05, 2013. In total, 24 stocks and preferred shares go ex dividend - of which 13 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 4.45%.
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.
