Anyone who has Ameritrade should be ringing their ears off! I got all of my dividends, even from purchases of shares on Friday with Scottrade. The dividend payment date was 12-15-2006 for owners of record December 1. With Scottrade it didn't matter whether I was owner of record or getting bill due dividend. They were all there. Ameritrade could use the excuse that the "bill due" dividends aren't payable until December 20, so if your shares were purchased after December 1 they have a valid excuse. If you owned the shares since November 28 they have no excuse for not paying you your dividends.

See post 4700 for an explanation. To be the owner of record you had to have the shares in your account on November 28 at the close T + 3. Then if you owned those shares on December 15 at the close you should have received your dividends before trading opened today.
