And there you have it...
Keep in mind, if you purchase a security on its ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend. If you purchase before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend. If you sell before the ex-dividend date, you also are selling away your right to the dividend.
If you have questions about specific dividends, you should consult with your financial advisor or visit Investor.gov for more information.
