I appreciate the information. Is there a certain time I would have needed to buy into VZ to get the dividend? I know I can't sell before the ex date but is there a date I have to have owned the stock to get the dividend? Or could I possibly buy into the company a few days before the ex date and then recieve the dividend for only being a share holder for a few days?
