But... I wouldn't trust anything these guys say. What if an announcement comes tomorrow "Darn, we made a mistake, the ex-date will be Nov 15". That's why I always said you need to hold until the 15th if you want to be 100% sure you qualify.
I am fine, but the real problem is other people was mislead.
So the sequence is like this:
Announcement Date -> Ex-Date -> Record Date -> Pay Date
Oct 8 -> Oct 30 -> Oct 31 -> Nov 14
So the record date is AFTER the ex-date NOT before as you said.
