stock question?

Question

For all the shareholders of "Latin American Discovery Fund" (LDF), do you know when they announce how much their dividend will be? thanks

Answer 1

They've been announcing around the 20th for the past few years.

Here are the actual DECLARATION dates for the past few years when most announcements are made. Ex-dates, like someone else provided, is actually just the date on which the stock will trade w/o the dividend.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

I would say the summer dividend should be announced real soon but the winter dividend is what you want.
20-Dec-06 $ 5.253 Dividend
28-Jun-06 $ 0.221 Dividend
21-Dec-05 $ 5.76 Dividend
1-Jul-05 $ 0.002 Dividend
