You are so wrong you need to go get out your textbook and see what is meant by date of record for a dividend. Holding than and now have no connection my friend. If a person held this for that time frame the ONLY reason they held it was for the hope and dreams it was going to go up in that amount of time NO OTHER REASON!



Ex-Dividend Dates: When Are You Entitled to Stock and Cash Dividends

To determine whether you should get a dividend, you need to look at two important dates. They are the "record date" or "date of record" and the "ex-dividend date" or "ex-date."

When a company declares a dividend, it sets a record date when you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. Companies also use this date to determine who is sent proxy statements, financial reports, and other information.

Once the company sets the record date, the ex-dividend date is set based on stock exchange rules. The ex-dividend date for stocks is usually set one business day before the record date. If you purchase a stock on its ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend. If you purchase before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend.
