Agememnon,

You merely need to be the owner of record on the date of the ex-dividend declaration. This information is almost always published well in advance of the actual event, allowing everyone ample time to prepare for the event.

Don't confuse the ex-dividend date with the date that the dividend actually reaches your brokerage account or the check arrives in the mail. Typically, the ex-dividend date is 4 to 8 weeks prior to actual receipt of the monies.

Agamemnon, <<how long you need to own a stock before you get a dividend?>> ... no more than 30 days, because you get paid as long as you bought before ex-dividend, and I have to say, after all the analysis and soul searching, I still do not understand the magic of getting paid every month, month after month, and still show a cap gain ;0)
