You have to have the stock in your account on the record date. Ex-div's and r.d's vary sometimes in time. nasdaq.com Bernie

Yes but if in taxable account that dividend is not "qualified" unless you own the position for 60 days. The qualified dividend income is considered ordinary income. The dividend look back rule 60 day period will look at the total no of days position is/was held. Then when the broker prepares their year end 1099, all qualified dividend income not meeting the 60 day holding period will be put into the ordinary income bucket. For tax deferred accounts (IRA & Roth) have not 60 day rule. EKS
