Ex Dividend Date And ‘Dividend Investing’
You can capitalize on the demand by real estate investors to pay for good deals and you can often make huge assignment fees for the properties that you assign to these investors.
Remember – getting the good deals is always the hardest part in real estate investing and if you can supply those deals, you’ll be in high demand.
Many companies reward their shareholders for holding the stock by paying dividends. It’s called the ex-dividend date. Depending on company performance and prevailing economic conditions it will be announced that a dividend will be paid to all shareholders on the books on date X, this is the ex-dividend date. If you buy shares the day after this date, you will not be entitled to any payment in respect of this dividend. The company is obliged to pay you dividends even though you have sold the shares as you held the company on the date. The share price, at which the investor tries to sell the shares after the date has passed, might be lower than that at which the shares were purchased.
