Hi Rem, some enquiries abt the dividend entitlement.
Say, Company A will declare dividend on 1 Nov:
- the Ex-Date is 15 Nov
- the Entitlement Date is 17 Nov
- the Payment Date is 30 Nov
What is the latest date that i need to buy the stock so that i'm entitled to the dividend?
When can i sell off the shares so that i wont lose the dividend? (must i wait until the payment date or i can just sell right after the entitlement date?)
Thanks!

Ha ha. I thought I said it clearly, as a Remisier I provide service to my clients. If you need people to give you guidance you should get a Remisier. Don't forget you still enjoy whatever best rate you are enjoying now when trading online, only you get FREE service when u need it.
Ok please be fair. For the last time. Here you go for your question:
from the example:
1) to entitle to dividend you need to buy on 14 Nov or before.
2) if you buy on the 15 Nov - no dividend
3) likewise you sell on the 15 Nov ( if you already own the stock ) you will be entitled to dividend
4) don't have to wait for the entitlement or payment date, just meet criteria 1, 2, 3 above
hope this help
