what is the difference between these two, usually they have dividend date followed by a later date called the ex-dividend date, what do these terms both mean??
So if I want to buy a stock before they pay me dividends, what date do I have to buy it before? Is the ex-dividend date meaning the last day to buy stock before i get dividends for current cycle? So as long as i buy it before the ex-dividend date I will get the dividend ??

The ex-dividend date is the day that the stock starts trading without the dividend. If you already own the stock on the ex-dividend date, you will get the dividend. If you buy it on or after the ex-dividend date, the previous owner gets the dividend.
The dividend date is the day that it is actually paid.

Dividend date is the actual date that is concern to pay. Ex-dividend is stated to a stock if a person has been confirmed to get payment by the company and if anyone purchase stock after Ex-dividend dates, then previous owner will get dividend only by company. If you want to get dividend for particular stock, then you have to purchase stock before ex-dividend date.
