Question

1-How much Dividend I can get if I have one share of this company?
2-If I have a share of this company for a while and then I sell it and after several days agian I buy it, Would I get any Dividend for the times that I hold the shares? Please explain

Answer 1

.35

No, you only get the dividend if you buy the stock before the ex-date and hold it to date of record. The stock also drops the amount of the dividend on the ex-date. So if you buy a stock for 10$ per share and it pays a 1$ dividend and the ex-date is jan 10. That means that you buy the stock on Jan 9 and the stock closes at 10$, as soon as the stock opens the next day, it will open at 9$ because of the dividend payout.

Answer 2

1. You get $.35 per share per year.
2. Many companies pay dividends on a quarterly basis. If you own the stock on the dividend date, then a short while later, you get one quarter of the annual dividend mailed to you or credited to your account.
