Let's talk DIVIDENDS!

These are the 4 dates you should know and understand as a dividend investor.

---> A thread for your reference <---

Keep reading…

1. The Cum-Dividend Date

- Always 2 business days prior to the record date (we’ll get into that one)

- This is the latest date that an investor can purchase shares of the company and receive the dividend

- So if you want the dividend, hold the stock ON or BEFORE this date

2. The Ex-Dividend Date

- Falls on the next day after the Cum-Dividend date.

- If you held shares on the Cum-Dividend date you could sell them on this day and still receive the dividend for that company

On the other hand...

If you decided to purchase shares on the Ex-Dividend date and held on the Payment date you would NOT receive the dividend

So make sure you know your dates when trying to earn dividends

3. The Record Date

- This is an important date because it allows investors to determine the Cum and Ex-Dividend dates

- It gives us a range for when we WILL and WILL NOT receive the dividend

And finally….

4. The Payment Date

- The date we all love

- This is the date on which you will be PAID the dividend

- If enrolled in DRIP, your dividends will be automatically reinvested into more shares

- If not, your dividends will show up in your cash position

Side note: The Declaration Date is when the company declares the dividend but has no impact on whether or not you’ll receive it

Now that you have an understanding of the dates…
