Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Second Week of November
Posted on October 30, 2009 at 01:35 AM EDT
Now that the market has had a selloff, now might be the time to start looking for dividend buys. The stock trading technique called 'Buying Dividends' is becoming more and more popular. This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend. This technique generally works only in bull markets.

When you buy dividends, there are many stocks in many different sectors to choose from. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can't sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork has compiled a free downloadable and sortable Excel list of the stocks going ex dividend during the next week or two. WSNN.com came up with many companies all with market caps over $500 million. Here are a couple examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date and the yield.

E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (DD) ex div date: 11/10/09

Duke Energy Corporation (DUK) ex div date: 11/10/09

Linear Technology Corporation (LLTC) ex div date: 11/10/09

The rest of the ex-dividend stocks can be found at wsnn.com. (If you have been to the website before, and the latest link doesn't show up, you may have to empty your cache.)
