record date means squat!!!!!!!! you need an "ex-dividend date" which FINRA sets!!!!!! own it the day before the exdate at the close and you get the split. you sell it before that and you sell away your right to the split

If you sell your stock before the ex-dividend date, you also are selling away your right to the stock dividend
