You got a computer right? Go look up, better yet do a search and ask, what is an ex-dividend. Don't take my word for it! It's not the same as a forward dividend and stipulated date at market close. This is a little different. People selling their shares yesterday instead of buying and buying today instead of selling screwed themselves. I was reading all the stuff on raging bull and most mis-leading. For some reason I can't log in over there even though I'm registered. So I posted over here. You dodn't have to own the stock 6 months ago or it would have been stipulated, some companies do have requirements, it will state shareholders who've held their stock for a year or a certain amount of months or days. In this case it had to be held two days prior to the record date.
