Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends’. This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend . This technique generally works only in bull markets. In flat or choppy markets, you have to be extremely careful. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable Excel list of the stocks going ex dividend during the next week or two. The list contains many dividend paying companies, all with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the market capitalization, the ex-dividend date and the yield. Central Vermont Public Service Corp (CV) market cap: $284.5M ex div date: 2/2/2011 yield: 4.3% Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. (HCBK) market cap: $5.8B ex div date: 2/2/2011 yield: 5.3% Northstar Realty Finance Corp. (NRF) market cap: $373.5M ex div date: 2/2/2011 yield: 8.3% FirstEnergy Corp. (FE) market cap: $12.0B ex div date: 2/3/2011 yield: 5.6% IDACORP, Inc. (IDA) market cap: $1.9B ex div date: 2/3/2011 yield: 3.2% Intel Corporation (INTC) market cap: $118.5B ex div date: 2/3/2011 yield: 3.5% The Southern Company (SO) market cap: $32.2B ex div date: 2/3/2011 yield: 4.8% The additional ex-dividend stocks can be found at wsnn.com. (If you have been to the website before, and the latest link doesn’t show up, you may have to empty your cache.) If you like dividend stocks, you should check out the high yield utility stocks and the Monthly Dividend Stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com or WSNN.com. Dividend definitions: Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend. Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend. Record date : the day when you must be on the company’s books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date. Don’t forget to reconfirm the ex-dividend date with the company before implementing this technique. Disclosure: Author did not own any of the above at the time article was written. By Stockerblog.com
Stocks Going Ex Dividend the First Week of February
Exercising Call Options 4 Must-Own Dividend Stocks A common option strategy is buying options as an investment. By paying far less than the price of 100 shares, the call buyer gets to control those same 100 shares and possibly earn a substantial profit when the stock rallies. Similarly, the put buyer controls the right to sell 100 shares and can profit when the stock price declines. When the underlying stock pays a dividend, the option owner does not collect that dividend. Indeed, most of the time the dividend is unimportant to the call owner. However, there are situations in which the call owner must pay careful attention to the dividend and especially to the date that the stock trades ex-dividend (without the dividend). Simply stated, if an investor does not already own the shares when the stock opens for trading on that ex-dividend date, the investor is not entitled to collect the dividend. If you own a call option, and if that option is in-the-money (ITM), you may want to exercise your right to buy 100 shares at the strike price, take ownership of the shares and collect the dividend. However, the decision is not always obvious, and this article is meant to help reach the best decision.
