Dave's Dividends Payers

[Old Tymer]

ST80, thanks for the info. I didn't realize it was called that. However, you wrote: "Hold it Until the afternoon of the day before the X date. Many times you'll exceed in sp appreciation what the original dividend is."

You're suggesting I sell it the day before the X date. If you want the dividend, one has to purchase shares at least one day before the X date. If you purchase shares ON the X date, you're out of luck. So, if I sold one day before the X Date, I would not receive a dividend because I have to actually have to have those shares ON the X date. Wouldn't I have to hold those shares until at least the X Date in order to receive those shares?
