Ex-Dividend Stocks for Week 2 of April
Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called ‘Buying
Dividends’. This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend.
This technique generally works only in bull markets. In flat or choppy
markets, you have to be extremely careful, and may need to avoid the
technique during those times.
In order to be entitled
to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date,
and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual
dividend may not be paid for another few weeks.
WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend
during the next week or two. The list contains many dividend paying
companies, all with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%.
Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, and the yield.
American Tower Corp (AMT) 4/8/13 1.4%
Brady Corp (BRC) 4/8/13 2.2%
Darden Restaurants (DRI) 4/8/13 4.0%

Dividend definitions:
Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend.
Ex-dividend date:
the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to
that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can
sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend.
