138 Dividend Stock Are Paying Out Dividends Today.

138 Companies are going to be going ex-dividend today. What does that mean exactly? Basically if you wanted to capture the dividend and collect a check... you would have had to buy one of these companies yesterday or any time before that. With Dividend Capturing you just buy the stock anytime before the Ex-date and hold it past the date of record, usually just 2-3 days. The misconception of needing to hold the stock for a year in order to qualify for the dividend is another urban legend. One of the benefits of Dividend Capturing is that you can collect as many Dividend checks as you can, up to 20-30 dividend checks can be done on a good sized trading account.
