This says:

BarPoint shareholders of record as of February 17, 2004 will retain approximately 28% of the issued and outstanding shares of BarPoint.

Ok, I am slightly confused. Was Friday the last day to buy to get the extra .46 share or will Tuesday be the last day? From the release, it looks like you have to have the shares BY Tuesday, which means that Tuesday is indeed too late to buy. I have heard mixed reports and I do not want to be left holding the bag here.

Thanks

Very good question. My take is, "on record as of the 17th", well if you buy on the 17th are you not on record for that day or do you have to actually wait for it to settle? The only one who has the correct answer is the transfer agent. Being I am already in, I suggest you make that call before you make the trade. If this is the case, Tuesday is going to suck for volume. -

BPNT DIVIDEND/FREE SHARE ENTRY POINT HAS PASSED...

In order to be a shareholder of record on the RECORD DATE you must own the shares on that date (when the books close for that day). Since virtually all stock trades by brokers on exchanges are settled in 3 (business) days, you must buy the shares at least 3 days before the RECORD DATE in order to be the shareholder of record on the RECORD DATE. So the (RECORD DATE - 3 days) is the day that the shareholder of record needs to own the stock to collect the dividend. He can sell it the very next day and still get the dividend.

If you bought it at least 3 business days before the RECORD date and still owned it at the end of the RECORD DATE, you get the dividend. (Even if you ask your broker to sell it the day after the (RECORD DATE - 3 days), it will not have settled until after the RECORD DATE so you will own it on the RECORD DATE.)

So someone who buys the stock on the (RECORD DATE - 2 days) does not get the dividend. A stock paying a 50c quarterly dividend might well be expected to trade for 50c less on that date, all things being equal. In other words, it trades for its previous price, EXcept for the DIVidend. So the (RECORD DATE - 2 days) is often called the EX-DIV date. In the financial listings, that is indicated by an x.

My thought is for quick turn if it moves up. Not everyone knows or understands the x-date issue. My mention is strictly to watch and see how it plays. Take advantage of the situation for gain. I'm not here to save the world. I'm here to save the portfolio and only post to make all aware of possible gainers.

CORRECTION

The record date is a cut-off date by which you must be a shareholder of a company's stock in order to qualify for a dividend payment or capital gains distribution. You become a shareholder of record on the date you purchase a stock (not on the settlement date, which is generally three days later). The company that issued the stock and that plans to pay dividends determines the record date. The NASD or the exchange on which the security trades then uses that date to establish the "ex-dividend date." per SEC

This means you can still participate with BPNT's dividends and free shares by buying in Tuesday the 17th. - Marty

Well, I still don't know... Have a look at this link:
http://www.sec.gov/answers/dividen.htm

It looks to me like I would meet the record date, but the ex-dividend date. See what you think and I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Also according to that link, you have to hold until a day after March 2nd(dividend payout) in order to get the share dividends(Free Shares). LOL, your head spinning yet? As far as the cash dividends go, you have to have bought in before ex-dividends date(2.13) - " The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. If you purchase a stock 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." - Marty

This is a post taken from another bulletin board in response to a question I posted. This confirms the fact buying tomorrow will still make it eligible for the dividends. - Marty

quote:
"Hey people, I work for a Transfer Agent and here is wahat I can confirm regarding record date purchases...

Be advised the shares are only being bought through the transfer agent if you are partcipation in a DRP plan, which would not be the case with a stock such as GZFX.

As long as the shares are bought by the close of business on the record date you ARE entitled to the dividend. Even if the settlement date is after the record date.

Now I will tell you I have heard of numerous people who have had problems with their brokers regarding these situations. It appears that sometimes brokerage firms will do anything they can to try to tell shareholders that they are not entitled to shares that did not settle until after the record date, even if purchased before. So this is something that you have to take up with your broker.

The Transfer Agent can confirm this, but since the shares are purchsed by your broker and not by the Transfer Agent there isn't much the Transfer Agent can do for you."

Source--McGraw -Hill Investor's Desk Reference-
Under a three-day settlement, you actually own a stock three business days after the purchase transaction, when you are required to pay for it. This is the first day that you are the shareholder of record. Therefore the ex-dividend date, the date upon which the seller is entitled to the dividend and the buyer is not, is TWO days BEFORE the record date.


In other words you had to buy it on the 15th or before--but watch it for a bounce if it gets oversold after the divdend---

Therefore the ex-dividend date, the date upon which the seller is entitled to the dividend and the buyer is not, is TWO days BEFORE the record date.
