Hi Eva, even though I added some more this morning? Nope, sorry :o) for the next dividend you must have bought *on or before the DAY BEFORE* last EX-Dividend date**. So if Ex dividend date is April 15 then shares you bought (trade executed) on April 14 would qualify. Similarly if you sell (execute the trade) ON the ex-dividend date (April 15) you still get the dividend. The 3 day closing rule is factored into the published EX-Div date. Lots of folks get these dates mixed up though and sometimes buying opportunities result ;o) regards Kastel
