Investors occasionally use a stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ which is the technique 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.br /br /If you are interested in a href=”http://stockerblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/buying-dividends-top-7-stocks-going-ex.html”buying dividends/a, there are many stocks in many different industries 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.
