Joe, This may be the most stupid question you've heard in a long time....if so, forgive me. Is there any special trick to becoming a Shareholder of Record for a stock like ATEA to receive the dividend? Or does anybody who holds any shares, even anonymously or through large web brokerages (i.e. E*Turd) receive the dividend. How are these typically paid out? #1, there is no stupid questions. If you do not know then it is a smart question for you to ask and an idiot that says that is a "stupid question" !!! As far as receiving the dividend, if you are a sharehold on record date (SOR) of the 15th. then you/the account will receive the shares I am fairly certain. Be sure to fax a written notice to your firm that you want settlement in 3 days! so they are aware of it. This will give you documentation in case they screw up, imo. Please confirm with your broker.
