Sino Agro Food Inc (fka SIAF)

The only thing we know is that SIAF will give TRW information about who owns shares as of October 31.

That's not what they said. Read it again.

Some rules apply to this. You have to buy 2 days prior in order to have the shares in your account.

So now you are using exchange rules. Some. But only when it suits you. Because SIAF never said anything about having to buy 2 days prior to the Record Date. All they said was that you are eligible to receive the dividend on the Record Date.
