Buying dividends is the technique of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling shortly after the ex date at approximately the same price, yet being entitled to the dividend. This generally works only in rising markets.
If you are interested in buying dividends, there are several stocks in several different sectors and industries to choose from. Remember that you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date in order to be entitled to the dividend, and you can't sell the stock until after the ex date.
