They haven't announced details. But looking at past years, ex date is early May and payment is early June. You must hold by ex date to get dividends. U can sell on ex date n will still get the dividends.

Ya, but remember that stock price doesn't stay still waiting for u. Secondly, on ex date price will drop to adjust for dividends.

At least he dare buy, you just comment only.. 😆

I like to imagine it like an open top barrel, half filled with water. Occasionally someone pours out the water from the barrel, that's the dividends. The water level in the barrel will fall. There is, however, a tap that continues to drip water into the barrel. That's the profits and the water level will go up again. Until someone pours out the water again.

Now the tricky part is that this dripping water is not very  consistent one. Sometimea a lot, some time less. This is where investment skill comes in. U buy the barrel based on how u expect the tap will flow.
