Ex-dividend date – On (or after) this date the security trades without its dividend. If you buy a dividend-paying stock one day before the ex-dividend you will still get the dividend, but, you won't if you buy on the ex-dividend date. Alternatively, if you want to sell a stock and still receive a dividend that has been declared you need to sell on (or after) the ex-dividend day. The ex-date is second business day before the date of record.
Везде дается похожее определение - продавать , чтобы получить дивиденты нужно после ех-дате.
но тут встретил другое:
Question:
I sold a stock, and the trade settled 1 day after ex-date. I was told I was not due the dividend. Is that true?
Your Answer: Answer last updated: 05-15-03
Yes, and here's why: The ex-dividend date is usually set 2 days prior to the record date. Not only must you be a holder of record on the ex-dividend date, but you must also be a holder of record by the record date. Because you sold your stock before the record date, you were not entitled to any declared dividends.

Получается что продавать нужно после record-date?
Кто с етим сталкивался?
