[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wallace#1: [QB] Maybe this will help....maybe not: Large or Valuable Dividends, Dividends "Not In Kind", and Split-ups Effected as Stock Distributions When large or valuable cash or stock dividends (usually 20% or more), or a dividend "not in kind" (i.e., a distribution of securities of another issuer), or a split-up is declared, it is the policy to postpone the "ex-dividend" or "ex-distribution" date until the dividend has been paid. The reason for this is so that the stock is not quoted at the substantially lower "ex-dividend" or "ex-distribution" price until the distribution is received by shareholders. If this were not the case, the collateral value of the stock would be reduced between the "ex" date and payment date, and the shareholder might be required to provide additional collateral. In the case of dividends "not in kind" (regardless of its size in relation to the listed security), it will be necessary to postpone the "ex-dividend" date in the event a market does not exist in the security to be distributed at the time the listed issue would normally be quoted "ex-dividend". The "ex" date after the payment date makes it possible for shareholders to sell all of their holdings at one time, on a "dividend on" basis (prior to the "ex" date). As a result, purchasers of the stock prior to the "ex" date continue to pay a "dividend on" price, but will not receive the dividend payment from the company. Accordingly, the "dividend on" purchaser is entitled to receive the dividend from the seller. The seller, in turn, is required to give the purchaser a due bill, covering the amount of the dividend, to be redeemed on the date fixed by the Exchange. PS: Oh, hell. Buy at least 3 days before the Record Date and don't sell until after the X-Div Date and you should get the div. [/QB][/QUOTE]
