There are several important dates associated with dividends. However only the x-dividend date is important for your specific question. If you buy the stock before the x-dividend date and still hold it at the close of the market on the day before the x-dividend date --you have yourself a dividend. You can then sell on the x-dividend date or later--or not--doesn't matter.

For example, if your buy order is the last trade on the day before x-dividend date and your sell order is the first trade on the x-dividend date--or not--you are the proud owner of the dividend.
