Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Second Week of November

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, and the yield.

Middlesex Water Co.	MSEX	11/9/2015	3.1%
New Media Investment Group	NEWM	11/9/2015	7.7%
Pitney Bowes Inc	PBI-A	11/9/2015	5.2%

EarthLink, Inc. (ELNK), the Internet access service provider, pays a yield of 6.6%. The company, which has a market cap of $925.9 million, has a forward price to earnings ratio of 12. Unfortunately, they have a very short term track record of quarterly dividend payments.
