Stocks Going Ex Dividend in March 2018

Please note that this is a sister publication of WallStreetNewsNetwork ( http://WStNN.com ) and eventually everything on this site will be transferred over there.

Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ also commonly referred to as ‘Dividend Capture.’ 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, and can work in flat or choppy markets, but you need to avoid the technique during bear markets. 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.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend in the near future. The list contains many dividend paying companies, lots with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the quarterly dividend amount, and annual yield.

Bank of America Corporation (BAC)	3/1/2018	0.12
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (HLT)	3/1/2018	0.15
Pepsico, Inc. (PEP)	3/1/2018	0.805

The Corn Flakes Stock Market Correlation

I really enjoy finding weird, unusual, and obscure correlations relating to the stock market. If you have read many of my previous articles, you would discover that I have written about the inverse correlation between chocolate chip cookies and the stock market,  a direct correlation between the price of Apple stock and the Mac World Expo, and between beer and the stock market.

Now I have found a new correlation, between Kellogg's Corn Flakes and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. There is a great website called foodtimeline.orp, which has a very extensive list of historical prices of various food items. I chose corn flakes for my initial research.  Much to  my surprise, these was an 87% correlation between this ever popular cereal and the Dow. Anything between 50% and 100%, or 0.50 and 1.00 is considered significant.

So what is a correlation? There are actually the three C's of correlation, The first C is for, obviously, correlation. The second C is coincidence, and the third C is causation. Correlation means that there is a significant linear relationship between two variables.  Coincidence means that there is a concurrence of events but know causal connection. Causation means one event causes the other. Remember, correlation does not imply causation. 

By the way, if you like to read more about correlation, you should definitely read Freakonomics, SuperFreakonomics, and Think Like a Freak, by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner.

So let's look at corn flakes. Apparently, there is a correlation between the price of a standard size of Kellogg's corn flakes and the stock market. So did an increase in the price of a box of cereal cause the stock market to go up, or did an increase in the stock market cause Kellogg (K) to raise the price of corn flakes figuring that consumers are doing well during bull markets and would be willing to pay more? Maybe there is an external factor, like inflation, causing them to move similarly. Or maybe there is no causation at all. What do you think?

One Letter Companies: Domain Names and Stock Ticker Symbols

Do you realize that there are only six one letter domains that are owned by companies, and five of the five companies are publicly traded?

These companies were lucky enough to register them before December 1, 1993 (or buy them from someone who registered them by that date), as the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority put a restriction on single character domains at that time.

o.co and o.info are both owned by Overstock.com (OSTK).

q.com is owned by CenturyLink (CTL). If you go to q.com, it takes you right to CenturyLink's web site.

x.com is owned by x.commerce, which is owned by eBay (EBAY). When you go to the x.com website, it takes you to the x.commerce website.

z.com is owned by Nissan North America Inc., which is owned by Nissan Motor (NSANY), which trades on NASDAQ. However, the website is currently inactive.

i.net is owned by Future Media Architects, a privately held company.

u.tv is owned by UTV Media (UTV.L), a broadcasting and New Media company based in Belfast in Northern Ireland. The company trades on the London Stock Exchange.

Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Fifth Week of August 2012

  Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called 'Buying Dividends'. 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. In flat or choppy markets, you have to be extremely careful, and may need to avoid the technique during those times.

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.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend during the next week or two. The list contains many dividend paying companies, all with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the market capitalization, the ex-dividend date and the yield.


Northeast Utilities System (NU) 8/29/2012 3.4% $12.6B Pennsylvania R.E.I.T. (PEI) 8/29/2012 4.3% $828.7M Sealed Air Corp (SEE) 8/29/2012 3.3% $3.0B TransAlta Corporation (TAC) 8/29/2012 6.6% $3.9B Molson Coors Brewing Company (TAP) 8/29/2012 3.1% $6.4B Bird Construction Inc (BIRDF) 8/29/2012 4.9% $629.8M Poseidon Concepts Corp (POOSF) 8/29/2012 7.9% $1.1B Kellogg Company (K) 8/30/2012 3.7% $17.0B
