Those 600 shares of BVIG were a test trade from another poster who was wondering if BVIG was halted or not.....
Great News today....but I wish we would only go up about %5% per day...these %20%+++ days invite the flipper!
.148 on ask now!!!!
Looks like the start of the breakout is now!!! Exciting!
I've been on vacation till today and looked back at Friday and Yesterday.....the gap down from Friday to Monday....could that be considered the 'value' of the stock award? Isn't that what normally happens with dividend stocks? Once they are paid, the price is reflected as lower due to the payment? Maybe that is why the price is so much lower now, panic by people that weren't expecting the gap down....just sayin...
Yes, three business days....two business days before the Record date is the ex-dividend date, so the day before that is the day you need to buy by....2 business days plus one (the day before) equals three business days before the date of Record equals the 13th....
Anyway, everybody can make their own determination on when to buy by, I've bought, and I'll be holding so it really doesn't matter to me...I was trying to raise awareness to those who think buying on the 16th might not get them all that they expect...
13th
three days to settle
=16th
ex-dividend would be 14th, own before!!!!
"The key date to remember for dividend-paying stocks, funds, or securities is the ex-dividend date. The Record Date, or Date of Record, determines the ex-dividend date, before which you must own the stock. For you to receive the upcoming dividend you must purchase the stock prior to the ex-dividend date."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex-dividend_date
You have to buy it by the 13th to allow three days for your account to settle by the 16th. If you buy on the 14, 15 or 16th, you will not get the divvy.
Any thoughts from anyone regarding my previous post asking if you think this will be considered a "Special" dividend?
Well, yes.....and no...I own almost all of my shares in my IRA, therefore, I can buy and sell all day every day for 0 tax...I will be happy to pay my tax when I withdraw my millions during retirement. Trust me, my target price will not be reached anytime soon, I need to see dollars!!!!!! :) I'm in to win! Go KATX!
"Please keep in mind that the IRS is just itching to grab our taxes when they see people selling before holding the stock for a full year.
Hold for a year and you still would pay, but LESS.
One call to your accountant should tell you why not to sell yet."
The other thought I had regarding the divvy....is this a 'special' divvy? That is normally defined by a divvy equaling 20% or more of the stocks value...1/4= 25% so...if it is, that would mean you CANT sell after the record date thru the payment date or you miss out.
I'm just trying to understand the process, I'm not saying that I'm GOING to sell on July 19th...I want to pay off my house in a coupla years so I think holding is the way to go....
As far as ex-dividend date, wouldn't that be two trading days before the record date? You would need to be in on July 13 to allow 3 days to settle. So July 13 is the day to buy by, if you buy July 14th (the ex-dividend date) your trade won't 'settle' until after the date of record and you will miss out on the divvy....I think I have that right...
"yes but remember the company is timing the PRs to keep "value" with your KATX shares, they may announce a VALE update, a drill date for Rusty Ridge, or a number of things....if you are only looking for the BVIG divy , you may get burned by unloading your KATX after the divy date...again the company is aware of this too I would suspect something big announced for "KATX" as well...JMO"
Date of Record = July 16th, so I own Katx on that date and I get 1/4 of my holdings in BVIG divvy, but not for about 45 days right?
If I sell some shares on Monday, July 19th, will the BVIG shares still show up in my account later on?
It could be due to the Record Date being 3 weeks from now...Still time to get in...if the Record Date was this monday, volume might let loose! Flippers will start posting now, they have a date to work with where they won't be out of the divvy...
Oh Geez, I looked at that 10 times and in my feeble mind .185=.0185
Duh...
Tried to sell but sold instead? I don't get it?
What does fat finger mean?
What do you mean by buying restriction on 90% of BB's and Pinks? I've never had any problem buying online? What am I missing?
What exactly is 'bid whacking'? Buying below bid? or Selling below bid? TIA
Plus, you will always have those who "sell on the news" regardless of what it says.....water off a ducks back...
Yup, I was waiting for lower, but I added more today....Lets GO!
Let some go at .185, I'll buy em...
What I don't get is how they can take a stop out at a lower price than I was willing to pay. What is the point of having the ability to place a stop limit order if the MM's can bypass all other offers to steal your shares? That just doesn't make sense. Kind of like placing a BUY Market order for 1000 shares and having them fill it at $2/share when the bid/ask is .21 cents. Who are these MM's and where do they live!!!!!
I have a bid in at .18 and it blew right by me....
Why didn't my .18 buy go thru then? WTH?
I'm a buyer today if this thing can scoot down just a bit more.....18 would be nice....
As far as the Date-of-Record goes, they could back-date that right? As of 6-8-10 or something like that?
Let me clarify...I said I was FROM Stevens Point, WI, I actually LIVE in Michigan....:)
I'm from Stevens Point, WI
I didn't think you could trade pinks aftermarket?
Hey, if I'm up, everyone should be up...lol!
Seems awful quiet here this morning...long time lurker...first time poster......where is all the entertainment?
