Hey, Paul. Re: FF Picked up some more today on an unexplained dip. At first I thought it was because the special dividend had been recorded but then I saw that the "record date" is May 21 ( tomorrow) . Looking into it further I found somewhere it said that it would trade "Ex dividend" today. Now I'm totally confused. how could the Ex date be before the "record" date? shouldn't it be the day after? Confused. - Bob Nevermind. I'm answering my own question: investopedia.com But the timing of dividends sure is confusing and still doesn't explain todays price action. Still scratching my head and trying to learn. :)
