Guys, saw some may still be mistaken on Ex-date. Can check LYN stock market FAQ to confirm.

Ex-date... "ex" means it's over, like yr ex-wife, ex-boyfriend!
On Ex-date, it is gone, no more.
that's it, nothing else.

'Ex' means 'not including'.
The term 'ex-date' is shortened from the words 'ex-dividend date'.
This word is too long so they call it 'ex-date'.
If you substitute the word 'ex' in 'ex-dividend date' with 'not including', you get 'not including' dividend date'.
Hence, if you buy on 'not including dividend date', you don't get dividend.
